Matola

Matola

Particularly industrialized, Matola, capital of the province of Maputo, plays a major economic and commercial role. However, the municipality observes that the taxes collected from citizens are insufficient, thus having an impact on its ability to provide other essential services to taxpayers. Unfortunately, the city council is not always able to hold the population to account because it does not have reliable data on who is eligible for the tax.

This is why the City wishes to undertake work aimed at setting up an electronic tax system, an ambition to which it intends to respond by joining the ASToN network.
