Naona TRA wameninyonga kwenye Gratuity

[Shelisheli]

Wadau naomba mwenye maujuzi anijuze kama kweli hawa akina zakayo wamenikata kodi kihalali. Mimi nimemaliza mkataba wa miaka miwili ya ualimu. Nilikuwa nawekewa gratuity ya asilimia kumi na tano ya mshahara kila mwezi. Jumla ilifikia 3257639/=. Wamenikata sh.967748.60. Je nihalali. Nisaidieni jamani.

Lumpsum payments to employees may take the form of gratuities, leave pay, compensations, bonus, commissions etc. which may cover several months of the year or the whole of a year. Lump-sum payments other than terminal payments should be included in the year of payment and be taxed on the basis of the adjusted monthly pay for the year. Terminal Lumpsum payments which include redundancy and other payments for loss or termination of office shall be spread over a period of six years or actual years of employment and shall be taxed as income for these years.

Tanzania Revenue Authority - How lump sum payments are treated?

They should have taxed you on monthly basis by adding that benefit to your taxable amount. If they tax as a lump sum, you are the looser;

Thanx @ Ndachuwa.
This is exactly what l expected, but they taxed it as a lumpsum! Any suggestions on how to be refunded the overcharged amount?
