The South Sudan National Revenue Authority and its Ugandan counterpart signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday 19th Sept 2023 on cooperation including on digital transformation programs at the URA Headquarters in Kampala Uganda.

The MoU is expected to help in the reduction of cargo diversion of goods that are destined for South Sudan to DR Congo.

According to the deal, URA will track goods destined for South Sudan and ensure they are not diverted to Dr. Congo.

“It’s worth mentioning that, over the years, under declaration of goods by businessmen has led to the decline of non-oil revenue collection but with this MoU, the parties will share information and help in the reduction of fraud made in scanning the original invoices,” stated South Sudan’s NRA.
