TRA EFD Phase II Launch

Tanzania Revenue Authority proudly launches the second phase of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) on May 15, 2013, in order to better cover Tax collection from non-VAT registered traders. It is the first Revenue Authority to implement such a technologically advanced solution with GPRS based Fiscal machines providing two way communication between a very advanced Server Software called EFDMS and Fiscal Cash Registers. This will streamline Tax information from over 200,000 traders. Tanzania was the first country in Africa to launch a fully online GPRS based advanced Tax Control System in July 2010 and the system has proven to be highly effective in Tax Control. Phase II marks an important milestone in its endeavor to effectively modernize its operations using advanced technology.
