Speaking to reporters’ yesterday TRA Iringa regional manager, Lamson Tulianje said there were some unfaith business people who not issuing receipts to customers, thus enabling the government to earn less taxes.

He said yesterday that big business dealers were invading paying taxes by not issuing a receipt to customers.

Tulinaje said they were going on with the crackdown operation to visit stakeholders to determine whether they are using electronic fiscal devices (EFDs) effectively. 

He said that in the usual exercise of visiting businesses in Iringa region, it has become increasingly difficult for traders to use machines, hence denying the government revenues.

He said that in ongoing exercise it revealed that some traders are not in line with TRA by taking little revenues to the government compared to the sales.

Recently, the TRA officials in Iringa region camped at a prominent hotel located in Kilolo District, Iringa, in the afternoon when buses from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya region entered the premises to passengers for food.

It was noted that most customers do not usually claim receipts when they get their services and even for the business owners do not have a custom giving receipts to customers.

He also said that there are traders who have EFDs machines but do not use those machines just for the sake of not using them.

In fact, the manager has asked entrepreneurs to use machines and issue receipts to allow the government to invest enough for economic development.

He insisted that the country be able to step forward, and her people should pay the tax equally, adding that the lack of issuing and claiming electronic receipts registered by TRA is a criminal case.

In the case of the income tax collection in Iringa, he said the collection has tremendously increased as compared to previous years.

Tulianje said that the region had much potential for collecting government revenues through land tax, licenses, licenses, forest products and the using of machines (EFDs).
