LEA AND BURS EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS THROUGH TAX AWARENESS AND COMPLIANCE WORKSHOP
The Local Enterprise Authority (LEA), in collaboration with the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS), hosted a Tax Awareness and Compliance Workshop for entrepreneurs from Palapye, Serowe, Mahalapye and surrounding areas.
The workshop brought together entrepreneurs from different sectors and business sizes to enhance their understanding of tax obligations, recent amendments to tax legislation, including the Tax Administration Act, and their implications for business operations.
Delivering the welcome remarks, LEA Palapye Branch Business Consultant, Ms Tebelelo Mabona, emphasised that regulatory compliance is an essential component of business growth and sustainability.
“A successful business is not just one that makes money, but one that is well-managed, compliant and sustainable.”
Ms Mabona encouraged entrepreneurs to actively engage with BURS officials, seek clarification on tax-related matters and apply the knowledge gained to strengthen their business operations.
The workshop provided an interactive platform for entrepreneurs to better understand their tax responsibilities and the importance of maintaining compliant and sustainable enterprises.
Through strategic partnerships with institutions such as BURS, LEA continues to strengthen the capacity of local enterprises to operate competitively, responsibly and sustainably.
