Tax authorities seeking unfettered access to mobile money records – that is what every government tax intake authority has been waiting for. The digital footprint of your money, which previously was unavailable in the cash-only economy.
As more and more countries embrace electronic (mobile) money, one cannot help but look at the drooling faces of the tax authorities, like a lion waiting to pounce on the rabbit that has accidentally ventured into the den.

It will be bloody nonetheless.
