DAR ES SALAAM: TAX collections for the first half of the 2023/24 have increased by 11.5 per cent comparing to the corresponding period in the last financial year.

A record breaking trend was set last December after the revenue authority collected 3.05tri/-, equivalent to 102.9 per cent, setting a new record since TRA's establishment.

In its report released on Monday, the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) managed to collect 13.9tri/- in the period between July and December in the 2023/24, which is a performance of 97.98 per cent of the targeted 14.21tri/-. In the corresponding period last year, the taxman collected 12.49tri/-. 

TRA Commissioner General Alphayo Kidata said in the statement that collection for December, 2023, was 3.05tri/-, equivalent to 102.9 per cent, an amount that has never been reached since TRA's establishment.

"In the month of December, the TRA managed to break a record of making highest collection since its establishment," the statement said.

The monthly collection for the last six months are July (1.9tri/-), August (2tri/-), September (2.6tri/-), October (2.1tri/-), November (2.1tri/-) and December (3.05tri/-).
