The Ministry of Financial Development, especially the Income Tax Department, has launched the year-ending tax collection campaign.
Officials of the Tax Department and the Tax Protection Force are working to collect taxes owed by various transporters, vehicle owners and anyone who has not paid taxes.
The Commander of the Tax Protection Force, Col. Ahmed Hassan Abdirahman, called on all Somaliland motorists and anyone who owes taxes to pay the due taxes promptly and that they should not default.
The Commander ordered the tax inspectors to take responsibility and to focus on the tax collection operations, as the year is coming to an end hence make additional efforts in collecting income tax to see to it that there are no defaulters.
On the other hand, the Director of the Income Tax Department, Mustafa Muhumed Isse, sent a message to the general public of Somaliland, especially those who owe or have defaulted on their due tax to pay them immediately.
He emphasized that the tax collection campaign is being launched countrywide.
