Central Equatoria State Takes Over Tax Collection At Bus Parks
The Central Equatoria State government has taken over tax collection from bus parks in the state and ordered the drivers union, agents and voluntary organizations from the bus parks to immediate put a halt on activities in the park. 21 February 2013 By Juma John Stephen JUBA, 21 February 2013 [Gurtong] – Marcelino Raimondo the Director of Transport said that the order is clear and does not close the Drivers Union offices but only stop its activities in collecting money in the parks. “There is a lot of money collected from the bus parks, but it is not helping much in service delivery,” Raimondo said. “In the past the union collects money from parks and pay remittance to the payams,” he added. The public order released by Governor Clement Wani in January will apply to all parks in Juba City payams, Juba County, Yei River County, Kajo-Keji, Terekeka, Lainya and Morobo counties. The governor entrusted the Land Transport and State Revenue Authority departments to take responsibility, planning and management of the bus parks in Central Equatoria State. The order directed the authorities to collect tax from ground revenue, parking fees, stamp duties and any other legal sources to be identified by the state revenue authority.
