Sudan Prime Minister Reaffirms Support for Taxation Chamber Amid Ongoing Conflict

What happened

Regional public source AllAfrica Sudan reports that Sudan’s Prime Minister Dr. Kamil Idris reaffirmed full support for the Taxation Chamber’s programs and activities during a meeting on May 24, 2026, in Khartoum. The meeting involved the Secretary-General of the Taxation Chamber, Badr Al-Tamam Mohamed Saad, along with senior officials, and discussed the chamber’s performance as a key revenue institution.

The Secretary-General provided a detailed report on strategic plans for revenue collection and highlighted challenges faced in recent times, including those linked to the ongoing war. Notably, the electronic invoicing project, which had seen significant progress before the conflict, has now resumed implementation at an accelerated pace after restoration.

The officials stressed the importance of the digital tax system in increasing public revenues and enhancing transparency, integrity, and accountability in all tax transactions. This effort may indicate attempts by the government to stabilize and modernize revenue collection despite current conflict pressures.

What remains unclear

Given ongoing hostilities and humanitarian issues reported elsewhere in Sudan, including displacement and famine risks, the role of state agencies such as the Taxation Chamber in generating revenue is pivotal to national planning and aid coordination. However, the source does not confirm the impact of fighting on taxation or wider economic conditions beyond the chamber’s internal challenges.

What remains unclear: Confirm details about the extent war has impacted the Taxation Chamber beyond digital invoicing resumption. Verify if resumption of electronic invoicing is countrywide or limited to certain regions such as Khartoum. Check for any independent reporting on how conflict dynamics are affecting tax revenue streams and government finances. Clarify the current control status in Khartoum and other key areas relevant to the Taxation Chamber’s operations.
