Indirect Taxes
These are taxes based on consumption. Categorically they are divided into consumption taxes, other
domestic taxes and international trade taxes. Examples of such taxes are Import Duty, Excise Duty
and Value Added Tax (VAT). By definition, the legal incidence of the tax falls on the trader who
act as a collecting agent of the Government while the effective incidence falls on the final consumer
of goods or service who eventually pays the tax.
Value-Added Tax (VAT)
It is a consumption tax charged on all taxable goods and services at a standard rate of 18 percent. It
is a multi-stage tax levied on the difference between a commodity’s price before taxes and its
production cost at each stage of production and distribution up to the retail stage. It is also levied
on taxable imports made by a person whether or not registered for VAT.
Excise Duty (Local)
It is levied on certain locally manufactured goods and services such as soft drinks, beer, wines,
spirit, mobile phone services, plastic shopping bags, satellite television services, cigarettes and
petroleum products.
Value Added Tax on Imports
It is levied on all goods and services imported into the country unless such goods and services are
specifically exempted under the VAT law. All importers must pay VAT regardless of whether or
not they are registered for VAT. However, importers who are registered for VAT can claim the
VAT paid on the imported goods as an input tax in their business. However, for VAT on imported
services the input tax is treated as reverse charge hence added to the value of the service.
Other Taxes
Skills and Development Levy (SDL)
This tax is based on the total gross emoluments paid by an employer to employees (currently, at a
rate of 6 percent). The gross emoluments include salary, wage, leave pay, payment in lieu of leave,
subsistence allowance, etc.
Stamp Duty
Refers to the duty paid on certain legal instruments/transactions, affidavit, conveyance and lease
agreements. The duty rate is 1 percent based on the consideration applicable to non business
persons when issuing a receipt whenever they sell their privately owned assets/properties. Stamp
duty on conveyance of agricultural land is TZS 500.
Airport Service Charge
Refers to charges levied on passengers who board an aircraft at any airport in Tanzania.
Port Service Charge
Refers to charges levied on passengers who board passenger shipping vessels at any port in Tanzania.
