INVITATION TO STAKEHOLDERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UPCOMING PROCEEDINGS OF THE TASK FORCE ON TAX REFORM IN PREPARATION FOR BUDGET 2025/26

08 Jan, 2025

THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA

MINISTRY OF FINANCE

 

The proceedings of the Task Force on Tax Reform in preparation for Budget 2025/26 are scheduled to begin in February 2025.  The working sessions of the Task Force will be preceded by the National Tax and Investment Conference, which is expected to take place in January 2025.

Every year, the Task Force provides a structured forum for discussion of various issues relating to tax policy and administration. Its deliberations have constituted a vital input to policy makers for a long period. It has helped to shape the country’s tax regime and, through dialogue and analysis, facilitated an effective, transparent and efficient resolution of a number of issues.

The fiscal policy objectives for 2025/26 include improving business environment in order to attract investment, facilitating growth of small and medium business enterprises for sustainable economic growth; enhancing voluntary tax compliance; broadening the tax base; mainstreaming the use of ICT systems in tax administration; strengthening enforcement of tax laws; and streamlining levies and fees.

As part of these proceedings, the Task Force is inviting submission of proposals from interested parties including Government officials, private sector, civil society, religious organizations, academia, research institutions and other specialists in public finance. The submissions from interested parties should be in writing, stating clearly:

 

  1. Firm(s), organization(s) or association(s) being represented;
  2. The proposed changes in tax or non-tax revenue, including analysis of the sectors, regions or taxpayers that would be affected;
  3. The projected impact on the economy and Government revenues in the year of implementation and outer years;
  4. The rationale and justification for the proposed revenue policy changes and, in particular, analysis of the means by which the proposal will help the Government to achieve its objectives; and
  5. Where a proposal entails reduction in Government revenues (even in the short term), there must be alternative proposal(s), setting out explicit and credible measures consistent with the overall thrust of the Government’s fiscal policies, to offset the revenue loss arising from the proposal.

 

The Task Force is looking forward to having a productive engagement and exchange of ideas among stakeholders and the Government. 

Submissions are accepted with effect from the date of this announcement until 31 March 2025 through the following portal:  https://maoni.mof.go.tz/. Submissions after the deadline will not be considered.

The proposal(s) can also be submitted through the following address:
