On 3 February 2022, the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) issued a public notice on the deployment of an upgraded Value Added Tax (VAT) electronic (e)-filing system which will be rolled out on 1 March 2022. The upgrade aims to simplify the filing processes to improve taxpayers’ filing of VAT returns.
Since the new e-filing system does not automatically capture any carried forward credits for the period of February 2022, VAT-registered persons with carryforward input VAT credits up to February 2022 are required to apply for a refund or notify the respective TRA office of their position for audit or verification of the credit amount.
