Africa-Press – Tanzania. TANZANIA Revenue Authority (TRA) has instructed customers to verify quality of drinks before consuming to protect their health.
TRA said in a statement that consumers have to be assured over whether such products have certifications from government’s quality control agencies.
TRA Programme Manager for Electronic Tax Stamps (ETS), Mr Innocent Minja, said consumers can verify the legitimacy of the product by obtaining information that the product containers carry or imported by whom, when, where and at that point the users will be assured that the products passed into the hands of other government quality control agencies in the country.
On other hand, he said ETS is one of major improvements made by the taxman.
The ETS was introduced to replace the physical paper stamps that were heavily linked to incidents of tax evasion and counterfeiting.
This is one of the Government’s moves geared towards improving tax administration in the country.
Introduction of ETS will enable the government to address longstanding challenges in administration of tax in excisable goods. ETS is beneficial to the Government, manufacturers/importers and consumers.
