The Minister of Finance, Ericah Shafudah, announced the extension of the tax amnesty program until October 2026.  

She spoke at the Namibia Revenue Agency’s fourth annual Taxpayer/Trader Appreciation Day, themed "Empowering Taxpayers and Traders through Education."  

Namibia Breweries Limited, Standard Bank Namibia, and First National Bank Namibia were recognized as top tax contributors. Domestic taxpayers, highest regional contributors, and the youngest individual taxpayers were also honored. Awards were based on assessments from January to September 2024.  

Guest speaker Logan Wort, Executive Secretary of African Taxpayers and Traders, said: "Strong tax systems require a strong relationship between tax administration and the people."  

The event promotes voluntary compliance and recognizes exemplary adherence to tax laws.
