The Mozambican Government has unveiled a plan to significantly reduce its domestic borrowing over the next three years. According to the Medium-Term Fiscal Scenario (CFMP) for 2027-2029, the government aims to halve its reliance on domestic borrowing by implementing measures that will help stabilize the country's finances. The CFMP, which was recently approved by the Council of Ministers, outlines key guidelines for fiscal management in Mozambique.

The plan to reduce domestic borrowing is part of a broader effort to reform Mozambique's taxation system. The CFMP proposes broadening taxation to include the digital economy, which will require the government to establish clear guidelines and regulations for taxing online transactions. Additionally, the document highlights the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to combat tax evasion, marking a significant shift in the country's approach to tax enforcement.

The implications of this plan are far-reaching, particularly for lawyers and their clients. As Mozambique seeks to broaden taxation to include the digital economy, there will be a need for clear guidelines and regulations that address compliance obligations. Lawyers should closely monitor developments in this area, as changes to taxation laws and regulations may impact their clients' business operations. Furthermore, the use of AI to combat tax evasion signals a new era in tax enforcement, one that requires lawyers to stay ahead of the curve in terms of understanding the latest technologies and their applications.

Lawyers should watch for potential changes to taxation laws and regulations in Mozambique, particularly as they relate to the digital economy, which may impact clients' compliance obligations.
