The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) is strengthening its frontline in the fight against tax evasion by investing in new talent and team-building initiatives.
The Risk and Compliance Department (RCD) today began a work session in Morogoro aimed at enhancing efficiency, introducing 21 new staff members, and fostering collaboration among its employees.
The session reviews the department’s achievements during the 2024/25 fiscal year, highlighting its role in analyzing potential risks, identifying loopholes that could lead to tax evasion, and improving the management of internal audits.
It also serves as a platform to discuss strategies for the 2025/26 fiscal year, with a strong focus on innovation and efficiency in revenue collection.
Dr. Ephraim O. Mdee, Director of Research and Planning, representing the TRA Commissioner General, praised the department’s commitment.
“Our people are our greatest asset. By welcoming new staff and investing in teamwork, we are equipping TRA to be more effective, adaptive, and innovative in safeguarding the nation’s revenue,” he said.
The session includes team-building exercises and workshops designed to strengthen collaboration, motivation, and a shared sense of purpose among staff.
By fostering a culture of learning and innovation, TRA aims not only to enhance tax compliance but also to prepare its workforce for the evolving challenges of modern revenue collection.
With this strategic approach, the RCD is positioning itself as a dynamic and forward-looking force in Tanzania’s revenue system, ensuring the Authority remains resilient, efficient, and responsive to emerging risks.
