The Mozambique government have introduced tax relief measures through a fiscal package to address the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on taxpayers.
This fiscal package would finance:
- Temporary and well-targeted tax exemptions to support families and the health sector (VAT and import tariff exemptions on food, medicine and medical equipment)
- Higher spending to respond to the health crisis and humanitarian needs, including higher health related spending on goods and services, and higher cash transfers and subsidies to the poorest households as well as micro-businesses and SMEs. In May, the government extended the VAT exemption on sugar, vegetable oil and soap until the end of the year.
