“As the world evolves into digitalisation, we are committed to also go digital so this is our progress towards that mandate so that every client can register online, file online, and complete all these at their convenience wherever they are,” ‘Molaoa stated.
Despite encountering challenges with client reception and platform usage, RSL remains optimistic about the initiative’s success.
‘Molaoa stressed the importance of educating and assisting clients throughout the filling season to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
The tax clinics conducted by RSL aim to educate clients on e-filing and e-payment platforms, correct financial statement preparation, and accessing RSL’s online services. ‘Molaoa reiterated RSL’s commitment to guiding clients and facilitating accurate tax filing throughout the filling season.
Furthermore, RSL expects reports for the 2023/2024 filling season from all individuals and businesses generating revenue, emphasising clients’ obligation to fulfill their tax responsibilities. Collaboration with the Lesotho Institute of Accountants in tax clinics aims to educate clients on proper bookkeeping practices to facilitate accurate tax filing.
