Review what you owe
Your VAT position for the period is worked out for you: sales collected, tax charged, input VAT you can claim and the net amount, explained in plain words.
File with one tap
Happy with the figures? Tap Declare and the return goes straight into RRA's eTax, with live progress. Declara then tracks the deadline and payment.
Every return, every deadline, one place.
VAT, quarterly income tax prepayments and the trading license, prepared from the data RRA already has about you.
VAT returns, built from your EBM invoices
Every sales and purchase invoice from EBM is pulled in. Declara works out the VAT you owe or the credit you carry, builds the annexes and files the return.

See each quarter's prepayment before it is due and file it from the same place as your VAT.
Trading license
Declare and pay your local government trading license on time, with the quarterly due dates shown.
VAT withheld by government buyers
Sell to public institutions? Declara reminds you during the filing period and builds the withheld VAT annex for you.
Import VAT from customs declarations
Scan or upload a customs declaration and the VAT you paid on imports goes into the right box of your return.

The assistant looks at your own figures and at Rwandan tax law, and answers with sources. It is inside the app and on WhatsApp, so you can ask from wherever you are.
- ✓Grounded in your real, up-to-date data: what you owe, what is due and why

What businesses ask us first.
Anything else? Write to info@declara.rw or call +250 788 400 336.
Is this an official RRA app?+
No. Declara is an independent service by Declara Ltd and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Rwanda Revenue Authority. It prepares and files your declarations into RRA's official systems, with your permission. Always confirm important filings on the official RRA portals.
Where does the tax information come from?+
From your own MyRRA account (EBM invoices, VAT declarations and payments), your eTax account (income tax prepayments and filing history), your local government taxes account (trading license), RRA guidance on rra.gov.rw and the tax laws published in the Official Gazette.
Is my business data safe?+
Yes. Your passwords are encrypted, your data is stored in Rwanda, and we never sell it or use it for advertising. You can delete your account and its data at any time.
Do I need to know tax rules to use it?+
No. Declara builds and checks your declaration for you and explains each figure in plain words. If you are unsure, ask the assistant, in the app or on WhatsApp.
Why is it cheaper than an accountant?+
An accountant charges you every month, per declaration, to retype figures that RRA already has. Declara reads those figures directly from your MyRRA and eTax accounts and does the preparation automatically, so one subscription covers every return for the whole period.
Does it replace my accountant?+
For most small businesses, yes: it does the job an accountant does for your declarations, preparing them, checking the figures and filing on time. Accountants who file for several businesses use it too.
What does it cost?+
20,000 to 25,000 RWF every 3 months, or 75,000 to 95,000 RWF for a year, depending on your business. Every return in that period is included. It is free while payments are being set up.
