Maputo (MOZTIMES) – The Mozambican Tax Authority (AT) has confirmed that it invested more than 70 million meticais (equivalent to about a million US dollars) on acquiring and installing a Fiscal Machine Management Computer System (SGMF), which so far is still not working, according to an official note from the AT dated 3 January 2025, but only received by MOZTIMES on 24 January.
In the document, signed by the head of the AT President’s office, Verónica Maúte, the AT explains that the system was acquired, installed and tested, but it is not operational due to a series of technical problems.
“Through contracts nos. 34/AT/2016 and 98/AT/2018, the AT acquired and installed the SGMF, and undertook some tests on it; however, due to problems of electrical overload, the AT Data Centre suffered a serious breakdown which greatly affected the SGMF”, says the note.
