The South Sudan Revenue Authority has introduced temporary measures requiring taxpayers to pay all tax liabilities assessed in South Sudanese Pounds through designated revenue collection banks.

The move follows a resolution by the Ministerial High-Level Committee on Economic Reform during its Extraordinary Meeting Number 07 of 2026.

Under the new measures, taxpayers must deposit SSP tax payments through approved collection banks, get an official bank deposit slip, and present it to the revenue authority before receiving a tax receipt.

The authority said taxpayers should not make cash payments directly at its offices or to revenue officers.

The tax body also directed designated banks to transfer all collected SSP revenues to the Bank of South Sudan.

It said the money belongs to the government and must not be used for any other purpose.

For taxes assessed in US dollars, the authority said existing approved banking arrangements remain unchanged.

The revenue agency said the measures are aimed at improving transparency and accountability in tax collection and addressing liquidity challenges in the economy.

It added that digital tax payments through Capital Pay will continue.

The new measures take effect immediately and will remain in place until further notice from the government.
