Tax and registration in Tanzania
VAT in Tanzania is administered by the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), and it is worth confirming your current obligations there rather than relying on a figure stored in any software — rates and registration thresholds change.
If you are registered, show VAT as a separate line on every invoice and include your TIN. If you are not registered, do not add VAT — collecting tax you cannot remit is a compliance problem rather than a formatting choice.
Businesses trading in Tanzania are normally incorporated or registered through the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA). Quoting your registration number alongside your TIN tends to speed up approval with corporate and government customers, who often will not process a invoice without both.
