The Addis Ababa City Administration Revenue Bureau has announced the establishment of a new quality assurance unit to enhance the accuracy and fairness of tax audit decisions. This unit will be responsible for re-auditing tax assessments to ensure their quality and correctness.

The newly formed unit aims to review audit decisions that were previously solely determined by tax auditors, verifying their validity and addressing any errors or inconsistencies. This process is expected to improve the overall integrity of tax audits and strengthen accountability within the system.

According to the Bureau, the unit will re-examine tax audit decisions made since July 2016 and take corrective measures where necessary. Additionally, tax assessments conducted across all branch offices will be subject to re-evaluation by this unit.

In a statement to EBC, the Bureau emphasized the importance of taxpayer cooperation, urging businesses and individuals to provide requested information promptly. The Bureau assured taxpayers that the new unit’s objective is to rectify incorrect audit decisions and hold auditors accountable for any errors.
