TRA-Tax Payers Charter-2012-final

TRA recognizes the importance of establishing a closer partnership with taxpayers and stakeholders, and has put forward this Taxpayer’s Service Charter as a pronouncement of its commitment to deliver quality services to taxpayers and stakeholders in discharging its statutory functions of assessing, collecting and accounting for the Central Government Revenue.

The Charter, while deriving from the Constitution and other laws of the United Republic of Tanzania, sets out the respective rights, obligations of taxpayers and TRA, and spells out the service standards that TRA will observe when dealing with taxpayers and other stakeholders.

TRA operates on the fundamental belief that taxpayers and stakeholders are more likely to comply with the law if they have the information andother services they need to meet their obligations. In observing the tax laws and other laws of the land, TRA will perform its functions according to the service standards pronounced in this Charter. These efforts will help to cultivate service culture which reinforces tax compliance and enhances a good tax system.
