“We have already heard the complaints and the government continues with discussions to establish a single system for tax collection in one basket. Each institution will get its share and thus reduce the inconveniences,” Minister of Industry and Trade Dr. Ashatu Kijaji assured entrepreneurs during a public-private sector dialogue on Monday.
Business representatives, including the Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) and the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF), welcomed the move, according to local media.
They highlighted the confusion and conflict caused by the existing complex tax structure, particularly the introduction of new levies at the local level, which contradicts national efforts to improve the business environment.
