STEP BY STEP GUIDE ADDITION AND CANCELLATION OF MRI

OBLIGATION

1.0 Introduction
An iTax enhancement has been effected to incorporate a work-flow for the
registration and Cancellation of Monthly Rental Income (MRI) Tax. This will
apply to new taxpayers who want to on-board MRI. Taxpayers who want to
onboard and file MRI returns will be required to apply for addition of the
obligation through iTax and this will undergo an approval process at the
respective Tax Service Office (TSO) (i.e. similar process for the addition of other
obligations like VAT and PAYE). This enhancement will support reduction of
cases of erroneous MRI obligation registrations. The registration and
cancellation process can also be facilitated via iTax back-office by officers if the
taxpayer is unable to initiate the application on the iTax Portal.

Note:
This change does not affect the MRI filing process.
