All tax and customs administrations are reforming for two essential purposes: Better serve taxpayers and improve the return of tax and customs revenues to the Treasury. It is in this context that the OBR was created. The creation of the OBR is also a reform that is consistent with Burundi's economic integration policy within the East African Community (ECA). The Burundian Revenue Authority (OBR) is a semi-autonomous public institution Collection of Public Revenue, created by Law n ° 1/11 of July 14, 2009. The overall goal of this institution is the reduction of poverty through improved public revenue collection and an improved business environment in Burundi. The OBR is therefore a new institution created to inaugurate an era of modern and professional tax and customs administration in Burundi.
