Tax: PAYE, returns and BURS
Your tax number, filing a return and paying.
Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) collects income tax and VAT.
Employees: your employer deducts PAYE from your salary every month. Use our PAYE calculator to see your take-home pay.
Self-employed and businesses: register with BURS for a tax number and file returns every year.
Businesses above the VAT threshold must register for VAT.
BURS has e-services for filing online; see their site for forms and deadlines.
