The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) is an Agency of the Government of Malawi responsible for assessment, collection and accounting for tax revenues. It was formed to improve on the functions previously carried out by Departments of Customs and Excise and Income Tax.

The MRA is operating on a commercial basis with an independent Board of Directors. Employees of the MRA were drawn from both the public and private sectors. Selection of employees was carefully done to meet the aims and objectives of the MRA which demand a high degree of professionalism and integrity.

The properly trained and motivated employees of the MRA are providing professional, efficient and effective tax service, and a fair treatment to the taxpayers.  The mission statement of the MRA is:

To contribute to national development through cost effective, equitable and effective enforcement of revenue laws and to continuously provide quality service to all stakeholders.

The Malawi Revenue Authority enforces tax laws so that tax due is paid on time, and those who pay after the due date are liable to penalties.
