Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI) President Newton Kambala has threaten that business Captains will stop paying tax to Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) if the current government does not show financial prudence.
The development comes amid failure by the new government to speed up Cash gate cases currently under investigations.
“The money that government is using to provide services to Malawians is tax payer’s money and we wouldn’t be happy to be contributing to the national budget when a lot of people are stealing and they are left without any controls so if this continues we will definitely as the business community stop sending our money to MRA.
“We said what we will do is comply in paying taxes but we would rather open a suspense account to be managed by the business community and the high court or any administration within the Judiciary, whether it’s the new government or it was the same as long as there seem to be no action on the ground we will do it” Kambala said.
Meanwhile FaceofMalawi’s effort to talk to one of the officials from government proved futile as no one was available to comment on the matter.
