THE UPPER HOUSE APPROVES THE DRAFT LAW FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL REVENUE AUTHORITY

Mogadishu, September 21, 2026 — The Upper House of the Federal Parliament of Somalia has today approved the Draft Law for the Establishment of the National Revenue Authority.

This draft law has previously gone through the legislative processes of both Houses of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, and its approval paves the way for the establishment of a national agency responsible for managing and developing domestic revenue in the country.

The National Revenue Authority is expected to play a crucial role in the collection, management, and increase of domestic revenue, while strengthening the tax system and other sources of government revenue.

The establishment of this agency could be part of efforts to improve the country's financial management, enhance revenue transparency, and create a unified system for managing national revenue sources.

The approval of this Draft Law could also be significant for the government's plans to increase domestic revenue and reduce dependence on external economic sources.

The details of the law and the structure of the National Revenue Authority will be clarified once the law passes through all the constitutional stages required for its implementation.
