Kisarawe District Commissioner Petro Magoti has praised the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) for strengthening transparency and close engagement with taxpayers, saying the approach has significantly increased public trust in revenue collection.
Speaking on February 3, 2026, when he received a delegation of TRA officials at his office, Magoti said openness in tax collection and regular interaction with taxpayers have helped citizens understand where public revenues come from, encouraging voluntary tax compliance.
The delegation was led by Kisarawe District TRA Manager Bryton Ernest and is in the district to continue the Door-to-Door Tax Education campaign.
Magoti noted that TRA has continued to break revenue collection records, attributing the achievement to strong cooperation with stakeholders and improved relationships with taxpayers.
He said citizens have developed greater confidence in the authority because revenue collection is transparent and information is shared openly.
“I commend TRA for the good work and for consistently setting new collection records. Citizens have strong confidence because they can see what is being collected and are informed accordingly,” Magoti said.
Ernest thanked the District Commissioner for the support and reaffirmed TRA’s commitment to providing proper tax education to Kisarawe residents as a way of promoting voluntary tax payment.
The Door-to-Door Tax Education initiative involves TRA officers visiting business premises to educate traders on tax obligations, clarify procedures, and strengthen relations with taxpayers.
The programme aims to improve compliance while ensuring revenue targets are met for the benefit of national development.
