{{Rwanda said yesterday that there was no plan to scrap the new $500 toll levied on Tanzanian registered trucks.}}
Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) said the new charge, which was introduced on September 1, would come into effect next week. The previous charge was $152.
RRA Commissioner General Ben Kagarama was quoted by Tanzanian media, “We decided to charge what Tanzania charges Rwandan trucks…I’m not aware of any consultations.’’
“We decided to delay the new charges for a week because we were yet to inform truck owners and the relevant authorities. We are now preparing official communication, after which we will start effecting the new rates without any further delay,’’ said the RRA Commissioner General.
