The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) in Iringa region has lamented on the poor response on usage of electronic fiscal devices (EFDs) which denies the government some revenues.
TRA Iringa regional manager, Lampson Tulianje, said the local businesses especially hotel's have a slight response to issuing EFD receipts as it was observed during the survey conducted in various areas the region.
Speaking to journalists yesterday after conducting a multi-hotel audit exercise in the region here, Tulianje said that traders who sell their products without giving their customers electronics receipts regularly were breaking the law of the country.
He said that the campaign has been carried out in all hotels in the region here by surprise and they detected the traders were offering receipt to a few customers although they serving many customers a day.
He said that in the case of TRA, they would continue to do so to ensure that traders comply with the rules, regulations and procedures for the sale of their products by issuing a receipt to each client who they served.
Tulianje said that all the goods sold should be issued with receipts, urged that TRA officials will work night and day to ensure that all traders who are required to use the machines to so.
"The goal of TRA is not to close up businesses but to make they comply with the rules and regulations, since we are enforcing the law and it has proved that a large number of traders in the area here do not use EFD machines as they should," he said.
He appealed to sellers and buyers to make sure that they issue and take a receipt respectively whenever they buy or when they make a purchase and if traders whose machines have been damaged should report to TRA to avoid fined by not using the machines.
