About this statute

This provision says the law establishes value added tax on goods and services supplied in Rwanda and on imported goods and services. This article defines key terms used in the VAT law.

VAT is set at 0% for zero-rated taxable goods or services, and 18% for other goods and services supplied in Rwanda or imported. This article sets out who must pay or collect VAT: registered taxpayers must charge and remit it, importers must pay it on taxable imports, and public procuring entities must withhold it on certain payments.
