VAT rates in Tanzania
| 18% | standard |
Worked example
At 18%, a price of TZS 100,000.00 before VAT becomes TZS 118,000.00, of which TZS 18,000.00 is VAT.
The other way round, TZS 100,000.00 including VAT is TZS 84,745.76 before it — divide by 1.18 rather than taking 18% off, which is the usual mistake.

Where these rates come from
Rates checked on 30 October 2026. Two published rate tables were compared, and every rate they disagreed on — or that had changed since either was written — was checked against the tax authority or a tax adviser’s published guidance. Rates and the goods they apply to change; confirm with the national tax authority before you file.
