JK CONGRATULATESOBAMA, PROMISES TO BOOST TIES


President Jakaya Kikwete yesterday congratulated US President Barack Obama’s for winning a re-election in Tuesday’s elections.
“On behalf of the government and the people of the United Republic of Tanzania, and indeed, on my own behalf, I wish to send you and through you to the Democratic Party many compliments for the victory,” said the president in a congratulatory message to Obama.
He said President Obama’s re-election was a clear indication of the trust and confidence that Americans have in his exemplary leadership.
"As you prepare to assume the leadership of your country for the new term, I would like to assure you personally and on behalf of my government that we will continue to work very closely to boost the existing relationship between our two countries,” he said.
Meanwhile, the US yesterday pledged continued support for Tanzania in its efforts to build a strong foundation for the thriving of democracy through peaceful means.
Reacting to US President Barack Obama’s re-election on Tuesday after defeating his Republican rival Mitt Romney, the US ambassador to Tanzania Alfonso Lenhardt said one lesson from the election is that there can be no real democracy in any nation without the peaceful acceptance of victory or defeat, the resolution to compete again, and to respect one another as citizens despite political differences.
Addressing an Election Day breakfast reception held at the US embassy in Dar es Salaam, the envoy said: “The mystery and beauty of democracy is crystallised in moments such as these…it’s that principle exemplified in today’s American elections.”
As President Barack Obama beat back a strong challenge from Republican Mitt Romney for the White House, the US Embassy Public Affairs Officer Dana Banks told the gathering that the event underscored the US priority to partner with Tanzanians in promoting democracy, the rule of law and good governance by sharing the unique moment in American history.
Patrick Collins, a political officer at the embassy said re-elected President Obama faces the critical challenge of addressing international policies in his remaining four years at the White House.
“The election was fair and democratic and the winner Obama needs to work on challenges previously pointed out by his rival Mitt Romney.
Ranahna Afriyem, an official with Africare, said she believes Obama’s commitment of uniting Americans was one of the reasons behind his re-election victory.
“Americans were convinced Obama had an ambition towards stabilising the American economy…this is what they voted for and this is what we also need to adopt in Africa,” she explained.

TRA: Scrap tax relief on commercial goods




Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) board chairman Bernard Mchomvu has urged the government tosuspend tax exemptions on commercial goods such as rice and sugar, saying they were not helping consumers but rather causing the government revenue losses.
He made the remarks at the 6th Taxpayer Day celebrations in Dar es Salaam yesterday. “Our research shows that exemptions on business goods such as foodstuff are not helping consumers; rather they reducing tax collection,” he said.

The chairman said millions of shillings are lost each month as a result of tax exemption on rice and sugar.
“We can offer exemptions on religious aid and aid from our development partners, but tax exemption on business goods should be removed,” insisted Mchomvu.
Finance minister Dr William Mgimwa, who was at the function, hailed TRA for doing a good job, saying the authority had improved efficiency in strategic tax collection.
He observed that TRA had surpassed monthly tax collection targets, reaching an average of 754bn/- in 2012 compared to 42bn/- at the launch of the strategic plan in 1998/1999-2002/2003.
“This year’s tax collections are satisfactory. Even reports from Zanzibar indicate a slight improvement following TRA’s implementation of its set strategic tax collection methods,” he said.
Dr Mgimwa hinted at the likelihood of the government introducing strategic plan number four, while noting that number three, which focuses on the use of science and technology in collecting tax had proved useful.
For his part, Vice-President Dr Mohammed Gharib Bilal said the government’s five-year development plan launched in June last year by the president aimed to increase production and the availability of power to enable economic and development activities to be implemented more efficiently.
He however told the Authority that the government was targeting a 19 per cent increase in revenue collection, challenging, TRA to come up with strategies and plans to ensure positive results.
“Since it is your responsibility as a revenue authority to monitor taxes, you should make sure that you fulfill your duties diligently by providing good services to taxpayers,” he urged
