Dar es Salaam, 18 February, 2022:
Tanzania Revenue Authority reminds all traders who are using Electronic Fiscal Devises (EFDs) that, they are required/obliged to upgrade their devices to abide with the improvements made on EFD system, in line with “QR Code” features that allows automatic verification of receipts and invoices issued by the devices.
Thus, all taxpayers are advised to contact their respective EFD suppliers to upgrade their devices and configure them with Protocol 2.1 that is in line with current EFD communication requirements for generation of verification code for receipts and invoices.
Further, take note that this Public Notice serves as last reminder following earlier Public Notices issued on 7th December, 2020 and 20th January 2022 through newsletters, on the improvements made on EFDMS and the requirement to upgrade the devices within the period of thirty days (30) from the date of the advertisement. In addition to that TRA announced another 30 days for those who have not complied with the requirement to upgrade or acquire new device which align with the improvement of the EFDMS.
After the given deadline, TRA made analysis and noted that implementation of the directive to upgrade their devices to Protocol 2.1 was not effectively effected by some traders.
By this notice the public is reminded that 28th February 2022 is the last deadline for all traders who have not yet upgraded their devices. Please also note that, failure to comply with this new deadline will compel TRA to take administrative actions including but not limited to blocking the un-upgrad devices.
