Dar es Salaam, 21st April, 2023:
The advancement of technology and the use of electronics, has made significant transformation in the way businesses are conducted, whereby it has been noted that, businesses (especially small and medium size) are shifting from traditional ways of having a fixed place (Brick and Mortar) to digitized ways (Click and Mortar) in interacting with customers.
It has come to our attention that, of recent, there has been a tremendous increase of such businesses to shift into the digital space. Although such a shift is testament of the willingness of businesses to embrace new technologies of today’s digital age, Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has noted with great concern that, some of these businesses unknowingly or intentionally fail to register as taxpayers in line with the provisions of Section 22 of the Tax Administration Act, Cap 438.
In view of the above, this Public Notice seeks to remind all persons carrying on business through online means (including those of advertisements) to ensure that they are duly registered for tax purposes. The Authority has already started massive enforcement measures to identify those persons dealing with online business without having proper registration. Kindly, adhere to the requirements of the tax laws to avoid unnecessary fines and penalties.
