Notably, individuals and businesses will no longer require a tax clearance certificate for remittances, with the exception of service payments valued at less than $20,000.

Naiyaga emphasized that this adjustment is a positive initiative, poised to benefit banks, businesses, and individuals by significantly reducing the number of small transactions necessitating a tax clearance certificate.

Naiyaga affirmed that FRCS remains committed to close collaboration with other agencies in the continuous review of policies and practices, aiming to further enhance efficiency and provide an optimum experience for all stakeholders in line with their strategic objectives.
