Discusses pricing formula and other fees, value-added tax (VAT), etc.
Last Published: 1/28/2019

In most cases, market forces determine the pricing technique to be adopted.  The Tanzanian government has eliminated most price controls; however, the government regulates the price of agricultural commodities. It also regulates gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene through the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA).  The 18 percent value-added tax (VAT) is added to most prices in Tanzania. It is important to note that this is a price-sensitive market.
