Serikali na jumuiya ya wafanyabiashara walivyokubaliana kumaliza mgomo

Dodoma. Serikali ya Tanzania na Jumuiya ya Wafanyabiashara (JWT) wamefikia makubaliano ya kumaliza mgomo wa wafanyabiashara uliokuwa ukiendelea nchini baada ya kuweka maazimio 15. Makubaliano hayo yametangazwa na Msemaji Mkuu wa Serikali, Thobias Makoba, katika mkutano na waandishi wa habari jijini Dodoma leo Juni 27, 2024.

Mgomo huo ulianza Juni 24, 2024, katika eneo la Kariakoo, Dar es Salaam, kisha kusambaa katika mikoa mingine kama Arusha, Morogoro, Kagera, Dodoma, Mbeya, Iringa, Ruvuma, Mwanza na Mtwara.

Miongoni mwa maazimio hayo ni kusitisha mara moja kamatakamata na ufuatiliaji wa risiti za EFD katika maeneo yote nchini hadi Agosti, 2024.

Wafanyabiashara wamehimizwa kuendelea kutoa risiti za mauzo huku TRA ikitakiwa kuweka mfumo mzuri utakaowezesha utoaji wa nyaraka muhimu za manunuzi wakati wa uingizaji wa bidhaa kuanzia Julai, 2024.

Aidha, Mamlaka ya Usimamizi wa Bandari Tanzania (TPA) imeagizwa kuongeza haraka bandari kavu kwa ajili ya kurahisisha utoaji wa mizigo kupitia utaratibu wa de-consolidation.

Kwa upande wake TRA imeelekezwa kuongeza nguvu katika kutoa elimu kwa umma kuhusu masuala ya kodi na maboresho yanayofanyika ili kuongeza uelewa kwa wafanyabiashara.

Pia, inatakiwa kubainisha na kusimamia vyema orodha ya bidhaa nane ambazo zitawekewa bei elekezi kama ilivyo katika bidhaa za magari yaliyotumika. Bidhaa hizo ni vitenge, mashati, nguo nyingine, vipodozi, vito vya thamani, nguo za ndani, leso na vesti.

Serikali itaendelea kufanya mapitio ya viwango vya kodi ili kuwawezesha wafanyabiashara kulipa kodi kwa haki na amani. Aidha, TRA inatakiwa ikamilishe maboresho ya mfumo wa TANCIS ambao utajumuisha moduli ya Auto Valuation kufikia Januari 2025.

TBS na TRA wameelekezwa kukamilisha marekebisho ya mfumo wa Tehama ili mizigo inayoingia nchini kwa njia ya uchangiaji makasha iweze kukombolewa kwa namba ya usajili ya mlipakodi (TIN) ya mwenye mzigo bila gharama za ziada.

Wizara ya Fedha imetakiwa kufanya uchambuzi na tathmini ya mfumo mzima wa utozaji na ukusanyaji wa ushuru wa huduma na kushauri njia mbadala rafiki kwa wafanyabiashara.

Aidha, Serikali kupitia Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu itaendelea kuimarisha ukaguzi wa vibali vya kazi kwa wageni na kuchukua hatua kali kwa wanaokiuka sheria.

Mawaziri wanaohusika na sekta ya biashara watakutana na wafanyabiashara kusikiliza changamoto na kupokea maoni ya kuboresha mazingira ya biashara.

Wataalamu wa forodha nao wameguswa wakitakiwa wakutane na Jumuiya ya Wafanyabiashara nchini kujadiliana kuhusu taratibu za kiforodha na uthaminishaji wa mizigo ifikapo Julai 10, 2024.

Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu itaendelea kuratibu utoaji wa mrejesho kwa wafanyabiashara kila robo mwaka kuhusu utekelezaji wa maazimio baina ya wafanyabiashara na Serikali.

Kutokana na maazimio hayo, pande zote mbili zimekubaliana hali ya biashara kote nchini kuendelea kama kawaida ili kuwapa Watanzania huduma wanazostahili.

Tanzania: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades

Tanzania: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades

EXIM Bank to raise 300m/- over the next three years for financing essential services and infrastructure upgrades in mental health facilities.

The bank’s Head of Marketing and Communications Stanley Kafu unveiled this when introducing Exim Bima Festival 2024 as a platform for bringing together individuals, organisations and various sectors for raising the funds.

“Exim’s initiative aligns with the government’s broader goals to ensure that every citizen has access to quality healthcare, including mental health services,” he said.

The initiative, which is one of the events for celebrating the bank’s 27th anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday this week in Dar es Salaam.

Mr Kafu highlights that this year’s festival is not only about raising awareness of the importance of insurance in the society but also focuses on enhancing access to mental health services and improving the overall well-being of the nation.

Statistics from the Ministry of Health shows a staggering 82 per cent increase in mental health cases over the past decade.

Mental cases have risen from 386,358 in 2012 to 2,102,726 in 2021, making the need for mental health services more urgent than ever.

Unfortunately, the country’s ability to address this growing challenge is hindered by a shortage of mental health professionals, infrastructure, medical equipment and essential medication.

For example, out of the 28 regions in the country, only five have facilities that provide adequate mental health services.

The most affected group is the youth aged 15 to 39, who represent the nation’s workforce, underscoring the need for intensified efforts to safeguard this generation for Tanzania’s future well-being and development.

Mr Kafu said by improving mental health services, Exim aims to contribute to the creation of a network of communities that can access care quickly and affordably.

Exim Insurance Department Manager Tike Mwakyoma said they are appreciating the support from partners in the insurance industry, who have stood by them since the last festival.

“Let’s continue this unity for the development of all Tanzanians and our nation as a whole,” the manager said.
