Taxation experts have attributed tax evasion and low revenue collection in Africa, to weak taxation laws.

African Tax Administration Forum (Ataf) director programs, Mary Baine, said this during the opening of a 3 day Media Engagement and Training on Taxation Issues in Kigali, Rwanda.

Being the second event of its kind, Baine urged the media to remain critical in informing and educating people on the importance of paying taxes.

As Malawi Regulatory Authority (MRA) has been shutting down businesses that are not paying due taxes, Malawi has embarked on a strict tax law enforcement era.
