Cheering for tax collectors feels like rooting for the dentist, yet Minister Khamis Omar applauded the Tanzania Revenue Authority for snatching record funds from citizens. The official spoke in Arusha where he revealed the agency collected over eighteen trillion shillings between July and December to smash their original targets thanks to digital upgrades. Omar noted that December alone saw the highest monthly haul in history. He credited these numbers to strict policies enforced under President Samia Suluhu Hassan which streamlined how the state extracts cash from the economy.
Vicent Minja from the national commerce chamber insisted that bringing the informal sector into the fold ensures fairness. He offered to work with the taxman to broaden the base, hoping this would eventually lower rates for everyone else trying to survive the market.
