shillings from both internal and external sources, up to April 2020 a total of 26.13 trillion shillings has been collected, equivalent to 92.4 percent of the annual target. The breakdown of resources mobilized up to April 2020 as compared to the target of the same period is as follows:

equivalent to 93.4 percent of the target;
ii. Non-tax revenue amounted to 2.25 trillion shillings, equivalent to 80.0 percent of the
target;
iii. Local Government Authorities’ (LGAs) own sources amounted to 571.12 billion shillings,

4. Honourable Speaker, during July 2019 to April 2020, revenue collected by TRA increased by 13.6 percent compared to the same period in 2018/19. The growth was attributed to: strengthening enforcement of tax laws and proper management of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) in order to curb tax evasion; provision of taxpayers’ education and
taxpayer services; and strengthening mineral control. In addition, taxpayers’ compliance has
increased as a result of improvement in provision of economic and social services including water, education, health, supportive infrastructure of roads, electricity and abolishing nuisance fees and levies to improve business and investment environment in the country.
