Sarafu mtandao zawaingiza matatani walimu wanne, mfanyabiashara

On: September 11, 2024

Dodoma. Walimu wanne na mfanyabiashara mmoja wanashikiliwa na polisi kwa tuhuma za kuwatapeli wananchi kwa kuwadanganya kuwekeza katika sarafu za kimtandao (cryptocurrency), kisha kutoweka na fedha walizowekeza.

Msemaji wa Jeshi la Polisi, David Misime, ametoa taarifa leo Septemba 11, akieleza kuwa watuhumiwa walikamatwa Septemba 7, 2024, katika Hoteli ya Gold Crest jijini Mwanza kufuatia malalamiko ya wananchi waliodhulumiwa.

Ingawa Misime hakuwataja walimu hao wala shule wanazotoka, amefafanua kuwa watuhumiwa wamehusishwa na ulaghai kwa kufungua mifumo ya kampuni bandia ili kuvutia uwekezaji wa wananchi.

Majina ya baadhi ya kampuni hizo ni MEME BANK, DIGITAL WEALTH INTERNATIONAL, OCTOQUANT AI TRADING, NPAMA FUND, MINDFUL TRADE, na CELESTRIAL TG CRYPTOCURRENCY.

Misime amesema kuwa matapeli hao huanzisha kampuni hizo na kuwapa wawekezaji wa awali fedha kidogo kama faida ili kuvutia wengine wawekeze zaidi.

Hata hivyo, baada ya kukusanya kiasi kikubwa cha fedha, kampuni hizo hufungwa na matapeli hao kutoweka mtandaoni, na kuwafanya wawekezaji kushindwa kuwasiliana nao.

Jeshi la Polisi limewataka wananchi kuchukua tahadhari na kuepuka kujiingiza kwenye udanganyifu huu, kwani teknolojia ya uwekezaji wa sarafu za kimtandao bado haijaidhinishwa rasmi nchini.

Wananchi wanashauriwa kutoa taarifa wanapoona ulaghai wowote unaohusisha uwekezaji mtandaoni au biashara za aina hiyo, ili kuepusha kupoteza fedha zao.

Misime amesisitiza kuwa ni muhimu kuhakikisha uhalali wa makampuni au watu wanaohamasisha biashara za mtandaoni kabla ya kujiingiza, kwani wengi wamejikuta wakiibiwa fedha kutokana na kuingia kwenye matapeli wa mtandaoni.

‘No Marburg Confirmed In Tanzania’, But Mpox Remains ‘Public Health Emergency’

Monrovia — The Director General of the African Centers for Disease Control, Jean Kaseya, has said the center stands ready to support Tanzania and other countries in the region where suspected cases of the infectious Marburg Virus Disease have been identified. The World Health Organization earlier this week issued an alert warning of a possible outbreak in the country, although the Tanzanian Health Ministry has said tests conducted on available samples did not show the existence of Marburg in the East African nation.

“As of the 15 of January 2025, laboratory results from all suspected individuals were negative for Marburg Virus,” Tanzanian Health Minister Jenista Mhagama said in a statement. This would have marked the country’s second experience with the highly infectious disease that recently killed over a dozen people in neighboring Rwanda. Tanzania previously reported an outbreak of Marburg in 2023 in the Kegara region, said to have been the epicenter of the new suspected cases.

At the Africa CDC online briefing on Thursday, Kaseya also said another infectious disease, Mpox, “remains a public health concern”. He said that while in December 2024, the disease had afflicted 20 countries, a new country – Sierra Leone – has been added to the number after recent outbreak there. Sierra Leonean health authorities said on January 10 that two cases of Mpox had been confirmed in the country and dozens of contacts are being traced.

With thousands of confirmed cases of Mpox across Africa and more than 1000 people having died of the disease – mainly in Central Africa – Kaseya emphasized the need to increase testing, a theme he’s heralded before. The Africa CDC boss said over the next few months the continental health watchdog will deploy additional epidemiologists and community health workers to areas considered hot spots of infectious diseases in the region.

Balozi Sefue aalika mawazo kuboresha makusanyo ya kodi

On: January 29, 2025

Moshi. Tume ya Rais ya Maboresho ya Mifumo na Muundo wa Kodi imewataka Watanzania kuwasilisha mawazo ya namna Serikali inavyoweza kuongeza ukusanyaji wa mapato bila kuathiri mazingira ya biashara, hatua itakayochochea ukuaji wa maendeleo.

Rai hiyo imetolewa leo, Jumatano, Januari 29, 2025, na Mwenyekiti wa tume hiyo, Balozi Ombeni Sefue, wakati wa mkutano wa majadiliano ya wadau wa kodi mkoani Kilimanjaro, uliofanyika katika ukumbi wa mikutano wa ofisi ya Mkuu wa Mkoa mjini Moshi. Mkutano huo pia ulilenga kukusanya maoni na mapendekezo ya maboresho ya kodi.

Balozi Sefue amesema wigo wa ulipaji kodi nchini bado ni mdogo, huku wastani unaotakiwa kwa nchi za Afrika zilizo kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara ukiwa asilimia 15 – 16, wakati Tanzania ikiwa katika asilimia 11.9, hivyo bado kuna kazi kubwa ya kuongeza makusanyo ya kodi.

Amesema kwa sasa kuna dirisha la wiki mbili, hivyo ametoa rai kwa wananchi wa Kilimanjaro na Tanzania kwa ujumla kuwasilisha mawazo yao kwa njia ya maandishi kuhusu namna ambavyo serikali inaweza kuongeza makusanyo ya kodi kwa kufuata misingi ya haki.

“Tuna kazi kubwa ya kuongeza makusanyo ya kodi kwa upande mmoja, lakini kwa upande mwingine, tunakusanyaje mapato kwa kuzingatia misingi ya kodi inayotambulika kimataifa

“Msingi mmoja ni haki, kwamba nchi isiendeshwe kwa kodi za watu wachache—kila mwenye kipato alipe kwa kadri ya kipato chake, lakini alipe kwa namna inayotenda haki, yaani haki ionekane katika kukadiria kodi inayotakiwa kulipwa na haki ya mtu ya kusikilizwa malalamiko yake,” amesema Sefue.

Ameongeza kuwa, “Natoa wito kwa Watanzania wote popote walipo, kama una wazo zuri la namna gani tunaweza kuongeza kodi lakini kwa njia ambayo haitaathiri mazingira ya biashara, tafadhali tumia fursa hii kuwasilisha. Tuna dirisha la wiki mbili, tumia mifumo iliyowekwa ya kuwasilisha maoni.”

Changamoto za wafanyabiashara

Wakizungumza katika mkutano huo, baadhi ya wafanyabiashara na wadau kutoka sekta mbalimbali mkoani Kilimanjaro walikosoa baadhi ya mifumo ya ukusanyaji kodi, ikiwemo wa ukaguzi wa mahesabu ya Mamlaka ya Mapato Tanzania (TRA), ambao wamedai unawaumiza.

Jonathan Christopher, amesema ili kurahisisha ulipaji wa kodi na kuwawezesha wafanyabiashara kulipa kwa wakati, ipo haja ya TRA kuwekewa ukomo wa kufanya ukaguzi wa mahesabu ili kuondoa usumbufu.

“Tunawasilisha mahesabu TRA ndani ya muda uliowekwa, lakini baada ya kuyapokea, TRA inaweza kuchukua hadi miaka mitano kabla ya kuyapitia. Wanapoyakagua kwa wakati mmoja, mfanyabiashara anaweza kufanyiwa ukaguzi wa miaka mitatu hadi minne.

“Katika ukaguzi huo, mbali na kodi aliyopaswa kulipa, anaweza pia kutozwa adhabu kwa makosa ya nyuma ya miaka mitatu hadi minne, jambo ambalo ni mzigo kwa wafanyabiashara,” amesema Christopher.

Rajabu Msangi, amesema kumekuwa na changamoto katika ukadiriaji wa kodi, ambapo wakati mwingine husababishwa na baadhi ya wafanyakazi wa TRA wasio waaminifu, jambo ambalo huwaumiza wafanyabiashara.

“Kodi ni kwa maendeleo ya nchi na ni lazima kila mmoja apambane kutimiza malengo ya Serikali, lakini changamoto huwa inajitokeza wakati wa ukadiriaji wa mapato. Mfano, unakuta mtaji wako ni Sh10 milioni, unakuja kupigiwa kodi ya miaka mitano Sh20 milioni ilihali mtaji wako haufikii hapo. Hii ni changamoto kubwa.

“Tunaamini maoni tuliyotoa yatafanyiwa kazi na watakuja na mrejesho ambao utakuwa ni mstakabali mzuri kwa maendeleo ya nchi yetu,” amesema Msangi.

Kwa upande wake, Ibrahim Shayo amependekeza maboresho ya kodi ya huduma na kuomba wafanyabiashara kulipa kodi kutokana na faida waliyozalisha.

“Lipo suala la kodi ya huduma, tunatambua kodi hii ni takwa la kisheria, lakini tumekuwa tukitozwa kodi kutokana na mitaji tuliyo nayo, ambayo wengi ni mikopo ya benki. Tunaomba kodi hii ikafanyiwe maboresho na tukalipe kodi inayotokana na kile tunachozalisha,” amesema Shayo.

Katika hatua nyingine, Shayo amependekeza upanuzi wa barabara ya Tanga-Moshi na kupanua njia hadi nne ili kurahisisha usafiri na usafirishaji, hasa katika kipindi hiki ambacho kumekuwa na ongezeko la mizigo inayosafirishwa kupitia Bandari ya Tanga.

“Naomba tuangalie hili la barabara. Kuna mikoa ambayo iko karibu na bandari, mfano sisi Kilimanjaro tupo karibu na Bandari ya Tanga, lakini barabara ya kutoka Tanga-Moshi kwa sasa imejaa malori na ni nyembamba. Ifike mahali turekebishe sheria na tujenge barabara za njia nne hadi sita. Hii pia itapunguza ajali na kuwezesha usafiri salama,” amesema Shayo.

Akizungumzia suala la upanuzi wa barabara hiyo, Balozi Sefue amesema ni wazo zuri, lakini akasisitiza ulipaji wa kodi.

“Wazo lako la kupanua barabara hii nalikubali kabisa, sasa tuongeze mapato ya serikali ili tuweze kujenga barabara,” amesema Balozi Sefue.

Oktoba 4, 2024, Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan alizindua tume hiyo kwa lengo la kuboresha ukusanyaji wa kodi, kuhakikisha ufanisi katika matumizi yake, pamoja na kushughulikia changamoto zinazoathiri mfumo wa kodi nchini.
