HOW TECHNOLOGY IS TRANSFORMING TAX COLLECTION: THE CASE OF ETS IN TANZANIA

By Cynthia Bavo | Media and Tech Development Specialist

Taxes are a crucial source of revenue for governments. However, many Developing Countries struggle to collect sufficient revenues to finance the most basic of services such as healthcare and education, and finance investments in human capital and infrastructure, placing a disproportionate burden on citizens, particularly the poor. The World Bank estimates that 86% of low-income countries collect less than 15% of GDP in taxes, which is considered the minimum level of taxation that a country should collect to support its growth and development.

The Tanzanian Government has taken fundamental steps to make its tax system gain efficiency by leveraging technology, improve operational performance, enhance compliance, and support revenue collection, specifically through the Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) and the Electronic Tax Stamp System (ETS). EFDs track sales transactions, ensuring proper reporting and compliance by businesses, while the ETS system monitors excisable goods such as tobacco, alcohol and spirits, beer, soft drinks, and water, preventing non-compliant manufacturers from evading taxes.

ETS is an instrument of compliance, as each stamp is proof that a producer or an importer is complying with its obligations to pay the excise duty tax set by the Government. The use of the ETS system is enforceable by the Electronic Tax Stamps Regulations (2018) and requires all manufactures and importers to be registered and to use it.

This move has helped the country to raise its tax collection by 81.6 percent, amassing an additional TZS 2,608 billion, compared to the pre-ETS era that was before 2019. Tax revenue collection in the fiscal year 2023/2024 increased by 18.1 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. From TZS 1.407 billion collected from ETS-marked products, TZS 1.007 billion came from excise duty alone.

BOLT LAUNCHES FLIGHT-TRACKING FEATURE IN TANZANIA TO ENHANCE AIRPORT PICKUPS

Dar es Salaam, 30 April 2025 - As technology and innovation continue to transform the finance and education sectors in Tanzania, the transport sector is also beginning to adopt digital changes aimed at increasing efficiency, speed, and convenience.

As of yesterday, taxi users can sync their flight details when scheduling a ride from the airport using the new Flight Tracking service in their Bolt app. If a customer’s flight is delayed or cancelled, Bolt will automatically adjust the pick-up time or cancel the trip at no extra cost.

To use the service, customers simply tap the ‘Schedule’ button in the Bolt app, enter Julius Nyerere International Airport as the starting point, and select their destination. Then they can tap ‘Add flight details’, enter the landing date, flight number, airline, or departure city, and choose their flight. Customers also choose how many minutes after landing they’d like to be picked up, and Bolt will handle any changes automatically in case of delays or cancellations.

Dimmy Kanyankole, General Manager of Bolt Tanzania and Kenya, said:

"Today, Bolt is an official ride-hailing partner of over 30 airports globally, including Dar es Salaam’s Julius Nyerere International Airport. This means customers can travel directly from Arrivals without needing to find a separate pick-up point. With the new Flight Tracking for Scheduled Rides option, both private and business customers can sync their flight details for seamless pick-up. If a flight is delayed or cancelled, the app adjusts the ride timing automatically — with no extra charge."

This is the latest upgrade to Bolt’s Scheduled Rides service since expanding the booking window to 90 days last year. According to the company, Tanzania’s market presents unique challenges that require tailored technology.

“For example, in France and Poland, customers can schedule ski shuttles for groups during ski season. In Cyprus, minibuses are used for tourist group trips,” added Dimmy.

Ikiwa na kaulimbiu ya mwaka huu, "Ubunifu kwa Mustakabali Jumuishi na Wenye Ustahimilivu," IWTz 2025 inalenga kushughulikia changamoto kuu zinazolikumba taifa ikiwemo ukosefu wa ajira kwa vijana, pengo la ujuzi wa kidijitali na maendeleo ya miji kwa kutumia nguvu ya ubunifu wa ndani ya nchi pamoja na mbinu bora za kimataifa. Mwaka huu pia, tukio hili litajumuisha Mkutano wa Vodacom Future Ready Summit (FRS2025), ambao utalenga mageuzi ya miji ya Tanzania kupitia ubunifu, miundombinu ya kidijitali na sera jumuishi.

Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Vodacom Tanzania, Philip Besiimire, alisisitiza umuhimu wa maendeleo yanayoendeshwa na teknolojia na ushirikiano wa sekta mbalimbali: “Vodacom si mtoa huduma wa mawasiliano tu; sisi ni kichocheo cha maendeleo. Dhamira yetu ya kuendeleza ubunifu inaonekana katika kila mipango yetu — kutoka Code Like a Girl, Digital Accelerator hadi Future Ready Summit. Kupitia ushirikiano wetu na UNDP, COSTECH na wadau wengine, tunalenga kuchochea mijadala itakayounda Tanzania ijayo — Tanzania ya kidijitali, jumuishi na yenye ustahimilivu. Jukwaa hili linahusu kubadilisha mawazo na mitazamo, na kuwapa Watanzania zana za kuendesha mabadiliko ndani ya jamii zao.”

Kwa Vodacom, mkutano huu ni mwendelezo wa dhamira yake pana ya "kuunganisha watu kwa ajili ya mustakabali bora." Kupitia ubunifu kama vile M-Pesa, M-Pawa, VodaBima, M-Koba na majukwaa ya elimu ya kidijitali, kampuni hiyo imeonesha jinsi sekta binafsi inaweza kuongoza katika kutoa fursa sawa kwa wote.

• Zaidi ya asilimia 80% ya wateja wanaohusika, TZS 7.5 milioni zilizotolewa kama zawadi ya fedha taslimu, na matumizi ya kadi za kidijitali kupanda kwa asilimia 20%

Dar es Salaam, Aprili 24, 2025: Benki ya Stanbic Tanzania, kwa kushirikiana na Visa, wamekamilisha fainali yake ya Kampeni ya Tap Kibingwa kwa mafanikio makubwa kwa kumkabidhi rasmi mshindi wa zawadi kuu ya Suzuki Fronx, Edwin Shayo. Makabidhiano hayo yalifanyika katika eneo la kazi la mshindi huyo Mikocheni, huku ukiongozwa na msafara uliopambwa na chapa ya Stanbic kutoka makao makuu—wakisherehekea sio tu kwa kupata mshindi bali mabadiliko makubwa katika jinsi Watanzania wanavyojihusisha na benki kidijitali.

Kampeni ya Tap Kibingwa ilianza Januari hadi Aprili 2025, ikiwa na dhamira ya wazi: kutumia miamala bila pesa taslimu na kuzawadia wateja ambao walitumia kikamilifu Kadi zao za Debit za Visa kwa malipo ya kila siku. Kupitia mpango huu, Benki ya Stanbic iliimarisha jukumu lake kama kichocheo cha ujumuishaji wa kifedha, uvumbuzi wa malipo, na suluhisho za kibenki zinazozingatia wateja.

"Tap Kibingwa ilikuwa zaidi ya kampeni-ilikuwa harakati ya kuwasaidia Watanzania kupata urahisi na usalama wa malipo ya kidijitali," alisema Shangwe Kisanji, Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Wateja Binafsi Benki ya Stanbic Tanzania. "Leo tunasherehekea sio tu ushindi wa Edwin lakini maelfu ya wateja waliochagua kutumia huduma ya kidijitali mara kwa mara na bila kusita."

Matarajio yaliongezeka, huku zaidi ya asilimia 80% ya wateja wakishiriki na ongezeko la asilimia 20% la matumizi ya Visa Debit Card kwa wateja wa Stanbic.

Kivutio kikuu cha kampeni hiyo kilikuwa ni makabidhiano ya Suzuki Fronx ya mwaka 2024 yenye matumizi ya umbali usiozidi maili sifuri, alizawadiwa Edwin Shayo kwa kushinda katika droo kuu kupitia matumizi yake ya mara kwa mara ya kadi ya thamani ya juu.

"Kushinda gari hili ni baraka, na ninaishukuru Stanbic kwa mpango huu wa kipekee," alisema Edwin Shayo. "Zaidi ya kila kitu kwa sasa naona umuhimu wa kutokuwa na pesa taslimu. Ni matumizi ya Visa ambayo ni ya haraka, salama, na rahisi zaidi."

Kampeni hii inawiana kwa karibu na agizo la Benki Kuu la Tanzania la kupanua upatikanaji wa huduma za kifedha za kidijitali na kupunguza utegemezi wa fedha taslimu, hasa wakati taifa linavyozidi kushika kasi kuelekea uchumi shirikishi na unaoendeshwa na teknolojia.

NCBA BANK PLANTS 5,000 TREES TO RESTORE MPIJI RIVERBANK IN BUNJU B, DAR ES SALAAM

NCBA Bank Acting Managing Director, Alex Mziray.

25 April 2025 - In a bold demonstration of corporate environmental responsibility, NCBA Bank Tanzania led a major tree-planting initiative along River Mpiji in Bunju B, Dar es Salaam. The campaign involved the planting of 5,000 trees and was attended by the Bank’s Acting Managing Director, Mr. Alex Mziray, alongside regional government officials, community leaders and environmental stakeholders.

River Mpiji, a key waterway in Kinondoni District, has for years suffered from environmental degradation caused by deforestation, waste dumping, informal settlement growth, and unchecked urban expansion. The result has been eroded riverbanks, reduced water quality, and compromised biodiversity. Recognizing the ecological urgency, NCBA Bank took a proactive step with this intervention to help rehabilitate the river’s fragile ecosystem and safeguard it for future generations.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Mziray emphasized that the Bank’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond rhetoric:

“We believe in acting with purpose. By planting these 5,000 trees, we are helping to rebuild a critical water ecosystem, fortify community resilience, and underscore the role the private sector must play in climate action. It is not enough to talk about sustainability we must live it.”

The initiative aligns with NCBA’s broader environmental goal of planting over 10,000 trees nationwide by the end of 2025, a target the Bank is steadily pursuing. Prior campaigns have already seen trees planted in Zanzibar, Arusha, Mwanza, and Dar es Salaam’s Jangwani area, each designed to address different ecological needs coastal erosion, urban green cover, and hospital-area beautification and resilience.

The planting in Bunju B included indigenous and climate-resilient species chosen specifically for their ability to stabilize soil, absorb excess water, and support the native flora and fauna. Experts on-site also trained volunteers on how to care for the trees after planting, ensuring the effort results in long-term survival and growth.

What set this campaign apart was the deep community involvement. Over 300 participants, including schoolchildren, local residents, and environmental clubs, were actively involved in the day’s activities. “This is not just an event. It is a movement,” said one community elder. “We now feel responsible for protecting this river.”
