Tanzania: Samia Hands Over NBC’s 354m/ – Crop Insurance Compensation to Farmers Affected By Hailstorms

President Samia Suluhu Hassan, has handed over a cheque of 354m/- from the National Bank of Commerce (NBC) as compensation to tobacco farmers, who were affected by hailstorms during the previous farming season in various regions across the country.

Handing over the cheque in Dodoma, the compensation is part of the crop insurance service provided by NBC in collaboration with the National Insurance Corporation (NIC).

Furthermore, President Samia has also handed over health insurance coverage to members of the Lindi Mwambao Cooperative Union based in Lindi Region, through the Farmers’ Health Insurance service provided by the bank in partnership with Assurance Insurance Company.

While visiting the bank’s pavilion at the Nanenane Agricultural Exhibition and being received and briefed by the bank’s Managing Director, Mr. Theobald Sabi, she said: “This crop insurance is one of the crucial solutions in ensuring farmers have a reliable income, without fear of challenges such as natural disasters, including hailstorms.

“I call upon all farmers in the country to make the best use of this important opportunity by accessing these kinds of insurance services. I also highly commend NBC and all the stakeholders participating in this programme.”

Elaborating further on the crop insurance service, the Minister of Agriculture, Hussein Bashe, stated that it will help to recover the loss farmers incurred, especially in various calamities beyond their control.

Citing them as floods, fires, and hailstorms, which have significantly affected the well-being of farmers and caused some to be reluctant to invest in the crucial sector, Mr Bashe added: “However, our President, this step by NBC is just the beginning, as this is the second year since they started offering this service, and the results are already visible.

“As the government, we promise to continue supporting the wider implementation of this service, with the goal of ensuring that this crop insurance service reaches more farmers.”

On his part, Mr Sabi said that the farmers who benefited from the compensations are from 23 primary cooperative unions in the regions of Shinyanga, Geita, Tabora, Mbeya, Katavi, and Kigoma.

He added: “In addition to these insurance services, as a bank, through this exhibition, we have continued with our programme of providing financial education and various banking opportunities to farmers, alongside offering them various loans, including loans for agricultural equipment, particularly tractors, to eligible farmers.:

At the NBC booth, President Samia also had the opportunity to be briefed on the various services offered by the bank to the farmers namely crop insurance and health insurance services.

There, the President had the chance to speak with some of the beneficiaries of the services, including the Vice-Chairman of the Lindi Mwambao Primary Cooperative Union, Mr. Hassan Mnumbe, whose union has been provided with a health insurance card from the bank.

On: February 1, 2025

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.
