The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) was
established under The Tanzania Revenue Authority Act (Revised Edition
of 2006). The Authority is a semi-autonomous agency of the Government of
Tanzania responsible for the administration of the Central Government
taxes as well as several non-tax revenues.
The
functions of TRA include among others, assessing, collecting and
accounting for all Central Government Revenue; Administering effectively
and efficiently all the revenue laws of the Central Government;
Advising the Government on all matters related to fiscal policy;
Promoting voluntary tax compliance; Improving the quality of services to
the tax payers; Counteracting fraud and other forms of tax evasion and
Producing trade statistics and publications.
TRA’s
ambition is to become an efficient, customer-focused and people-centred
organization comparable with its counterparts in the emerging
economies. To achieve this, the Authority is basically guided by three
strategic themes namely Convenience; Compliance and Continual Improvement.
TRA
is seeking to recruit dynamic, strategic, experienced and qualified
Tanzanians with strong credentials to fill positions in Customs and
Excise and Human Resource and Administration Departments. Applications
are therefore invited from suitably qualified Tanzanians for the
following positions.
