Taxation in Tanzania

Author

Abstract

Tanzania has during the past years made substantial progress in stabilising the economy. One of the major issues has been to cut down on government activities and there has been a remarkable contraction. Although tax reform has been an important component in Tanzania's economic reform programme the domestic revenue-GDP ratio has remained low. Some of the factors behind the decline in the tax-GDP ratio over the past years are substantial reductions in external taxes, relative large tax incentives for new investments, downsizing of the parastatal sector and sluggish private sector growth.
