A statement released on Thursday by the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) Commissioner General, Alphayo Kidata said the implementation of the new property tax collection system will officially start tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The TRA chief said the execution of the new system will be under the Taxman in collaboration with Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).<\/p>\n

Elaborating further, Mr Kidata said the new system will involve all types of electricity meters.<\/p>\n

The newly introduced system will start tomorrow following the amendment of the local government tax which was passed in the 2021\/22 Budget meeting where the rates of property taxes were reviewed.<\/p>\n

Equally, he said the new rates will be 12,000\/- for each normal building within a plot from which was 10,000\/- previously levied and 6,000 shillings for each floor of an apartment which was 5,000 previously.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he added that in the case of district councils and small towns, apartment houses will be charged 6,000\/- regardless of the number of floors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
