Tax Computation on Imported Motor Vehicles
For non-utility vehicles of less than eight years old from the year of manufacture.
Illustration 1
Imported non-utility vehicles with engine capacity between 0-1000 cc. The computation of duties and taxes will be based on the applicable rates as follows:
Import duty 25%
Excise duty 0%
VAT 18%
Example
Imported non-utility vehicle with CIF value of USD 2500 on arrival in Tanzania (Assume the exchange rate is Tshs 1600 per USD). The Calculation will be as follows:
Duty/Tax TypeComputationDuty/Tax payable
a) Import dutyIn order to obtain import duty to be paid, take the certified customs value and multiply by the import duty rate (25%) USD 2500 x 25% =625 USD
USD 625 x Tshs 1600 = Tshs 1,000,000
Tshs 1,000,000
b) Excise dutyIn order to obtain excise duty value, take the certified customs value plus import duty calculated in (a). Then multiply by the excise duty rate (0%).
USD 2500 + USD 625 =USD 3125
USD 3125 X 0% = USD 0
USD 0 X Tshs 1600 = Tshs 0
Tshs 0
c) Value Added Tax (VAT)In order to get the value of VAT, take the certified customs value and add to it the import duty and the excise duty calculated in (b). Then multiply by the VAT rate (18%)
USD 2500 + USD 625 +USD 0 =USD 3125
USD 3125 X 18% = USD 562.5
USD 562.5 X Tshs 1600 = Tshs 900,000
