Chiefdom or Neighborhood Tax Units

Community-based fiscal service points

Operate in rural and urban areas to deliver grassroots tax services and ensure proximity enforcement of fiscal policies.

What We Do

Brings tax services closer to grassroots communities and citizens

Chiefdom or Neighborhood Tax Units provide localized fiscal services to villages and urban districts that are far from central or municipal offices. They handle tax declarations, assessment, and documentation at the grassroots level, ensuring that underserved populations have access to fiscal support. These units are vital in promoting civic responsibility and expanding fiscal reach in remote or densely populated areas.

Reporting to their parent Tax Centers, these units enforce delegated mandates, issue tax documents, and offer guidance on compliance. Their small, community-centered presence enhances the Directorate’s efficiency by addressing localized tax issues quickly and effectively. Their mission also includes increasing voluntary compliance, supporting taxpayer outreach, and ensuring inclusivity in fiscal governance throughout the province.
