The Technical, Entrepreneurial and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TEVETA), in partnership with the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) are conducting TEVET Levy sensitisation meetings to enhance compliance and deepen understanding of the levy’s role in advancing national skills development.
Speaking during the Zomba meeting, TEVETA’s Head of Revenue, Felix Chiromo, described payment of TEVET Levy as a strategic investment in Malawi’s human capital.
“TEVET Levy is not just a legal obligation under the TEVET Act of 1999, it is an investment in the productivity and competitiveness of our workforce. When organisations comply, they are directly contributing to national socio-economic growth,” he said.
MRA Zomba Station Manager, Mrs Jane Maere, said the collaboration between the two institutions reflects Government’s commitment to efficient revenue collection that directly supports Malawi’s development agenda.
“The partnership between MRA and TEVETA ensures that revenue collected through the TEVET Levy is properly administered and channelled towards building the country’s skills base. We commend all compliant institutions for contributing to this national cause,” she said.
As a benefit of TEVET Levy compliance, TEVETA facilitates the Productivity Enhancement Programme (PEP) for compliant organisations, supporting them to improve operational efficiency and strengthen workforce capacity.
TEVETA and MRA are this week conducting employer sensitisation campaigns in Zomba on Monday, Mangochi on Tuesday, Salima on Wednesday, Kasungu on Thursday and Mchinji on Friday to update stakeholders on the TEVET Levy Assessment System (TLAS), highlight the impact of the TEVET Levy, promote compliance, and gather feedback.
