So far so good, everything appear commendable about this deal. It's done in the open and assets value is just about right to anyone aware of the complex and its grander. Now, following the transaction, one hopes that appropriate taxes from the proceeds would be paid to our coffers accordingly. As it's often the case that, this is the part when things gets blurry or are simply shoved to obscurity!

round figure inayotarajiwa kufanyika kwa tsh. ni 123,200,000,000 tsh. sasa kwa watalamu wa kodi mtueleze serikali yetu tunatarajia kupata kiasi gani katika transaction hiyo ya fedha nyingi kiasi hicho.

pili mikataba ya mauziano, itaendelea kubaki mwendeshaji mpya kuyamiliki majengo kwa miaka 99 kama tulivyowahi kudokezwa wakati ujenzi unaanza?

kwa maoni yangu, leseni ya kumiliki ardhi ile ikome ndani ya miaka 10, baada ya hapo wataifishwe na wakipenda kuendelea na biashara wapange kwenye majengo hayo sambamba na kulipa kodi inayositahili.

kwa maoni yangu, leseni ya kumiliki ardhi ile ikome ndani ya miaka 10, baada ya hapo wataifishwe na wakipenda kuendelea na biashara wapange kwenye majengo hayo sambamba na kulipa kodi inayositahili.

Kikawaida kodi katika mauziano hayo inatakiwa kuwa ni 10% kama hao jamaa watakaonunua ni non- resident na 20% kama ni resident, kutokana na hilo serikali inatarajia kupata US$ 7,700,000 (sawa na TZS 12,320,000,000) au US$ 15,400,000 (sawa na TZS 24,640,000,000).

Kuhusu kikomo cha umiliki ardhi kwa miaka 10 itakua ni kumuonea mwekezaji na kuzuia uwekezaji katika sekta hiyo. Kiac cha fedha ambacho kimewekezwa katika biashara hiyo ni kubwa sana, just imagine ni biashara ya mtindo gani ambayo inaweza kurudisha kiac kikubwa hivyo cha pesa ndani ya miaka 10?? Tuache uwekezaji ufanyike katika eneo hilo la Mlimani City maana vijana wengi wameajiriwa na kujiajiri pale, kiac kikubwa cha kodi (mf. VAT) kinakusanywa katika eneo lile kila mwezi na faifa nyingine nyingi ambazo zinapatikana pale.

Why 20% for resident and 10% for non resident? Hatuamimini watu wetu wanaweza ku-invest?

Haya mambo ya kuuziana uziana huwa yana ukakasi ndani yake, siyapendi. Lakini ndio biashara. Ila mkataba wa Serikali ama UDSM na huyo muwekezaji wa sasa ulikuwa unasemaje? Katika mauziano hayo UDSM wanahusishwa kutoa baraka? Kumbuka mkataba wa TANESCO na Richmond (TANESCO walikuwa wanatakiwa watoe baraka). Kuna vitu viiiingi vya kuangalia hapa. Wataalamu tusaidieni.

 

[Big Ben]

It is not like SHERATON turnout to be MOVENPICK, kuna kakodi kanatambukwa hapo,

 

[Candid Scope]

Mlimani City ni mali ya nani? Kama ni kampuni ya mwekezaji binafsi bila ubia na serikali basi ana haki kuamua anavyotaka kama kumwuzia mtu mwingine ila tu mradi taratibu na sheria za nchi hazikiukwi. Sina kumbukumbu sawa maana kama sijakosea mmiliki alikuwa mmarekani? Nisaidieni wanajamii forum

tafadhali angalia bolded and italic words. Ulimaanisha kusema hivyo au typing erro? kama ulimaanisha kwa nini wazawa tulipe kodi mara mbili ya mwekezaji, mtu anyekuja kuiba na kuondoka? kama ni kweli waliopitisha sheria hiyo kwa kufanya mijadala isiyo halali na kula posho za walala hoi halafu waendelee kuwanyonya kupitia kodi

 

[King’asti]

i remember this mlimani city deal like it is yesteryear! initially walitoa insert kwenye magazeti,na pictorial projections.majengo yalikuwa marefu,mengi like a real good deal. na walisema ni property ya udsm, na wao watai-run kwa 50 yrs to recover their costs. walipojenga zile godowns, naona kila mtu kimyaaa (mi ningepewa walau kishida nisingesikitika). sasa where is udsm at this deal la kuhamishiana? manake sio kama mlimani city kiwanja kiliuzwa,kama kiliuzwa howa much was the price?
nchi itanjengwa na wenye moyo na kuliwa na wenye meno! amen

Mkuu nadhani amekosea kidogo hapo,,ni the other way round..ni 10% kwa resident individual na 20% kwa non resident (Soma section 90.-(1)) ya income tax act, 2004.
Ingawa pia kwa definition ya 'resident' per the ITA,2004 hata hao wamiliki wa sasa wanaweza kuwa residents for income tax purposes ingawa sio raia wa tanzania,,.yani 'resident' as per income tax act haimaanishi raia wa tanzania.
