URA commissioner general John Rujoki, together with finance ministers Matia Kasaija and Henry Musaasizi were appearing before the finance committee to defend the vote ministerial policy statement.
Â
MPs sitting on the committee asked for reassurance on resource mobilisation, where they alleged that traders are still concerned about efris where they still claim it is a tax rather than a revenue collection tool.
Â
In response, Rujoiki confirmed having stalled the system for some time, but on a positive note, traders have continued to register on the efris system.
Â
He says the focus will be on digital tax solutions to realize the domestic revenue target.
