Maputo, Mozambique – Sasol Petroleum Temane has been named the best income tax payer for 2015 in the large company tax payers at Mozambique’s Tax Authority’s annual event.  Chaired by the Minister of Economy and Finance, Adriano Maleiane, chairman of the Tax Authority, Amelia Nakhare issued certificates of recognition to the top tax payers this week.

Sasol’s commitment to Mozambique began well over a decade ago when, together with its partners CMH and IFC, developed the Pande/Temane natural gas project. This project pioneered the monetisation of the Pande and Temane gas fields which had been effectively ‘stranded’ for over 30 years.

The natural gas project has resulted in significant benefits flowing to Mozambique with the investment unlocking the country’s natural wealth and providing a platform for much-needed foreign investment, economic growth, skills and social development.
