The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) has collected K3.535 trillion in the first seven months of the 2026/27 financial year, beating its target by K7.31 billion.
According to MRA’s revenue collection report, the Authority collected K3,534.93 billion between April and October 2026 against a Treasury target of K3,527.62 billion.
The surplus follows a strong performance in October, which offset the K0.55 billion deficit recorded at the end of the first half of the financial year.
In October alone, MRA collected K595.89 billion against a target of K588.03 billion, surpassing the monthly target by K7.86 billion.
The report indicates that the figures represent cleared revenues confirmed by the Reserve Bank of Malawi.
MRA recorded a K20.42 billion surplus in the first quarter, which anchored overall performance.
The October outturn has pushed cumulative collections above target as the Authority enters the second half of the financial year.
