VAT on Digital Services: What Cross-Border Suppliers Must Know

The taxation of cross-border digital services has changed the compliance picture for suppliers selling into Tanzania - and many non-resident providers are only now discovering their obligations. This webinar explains, in plain terms, when a foreign digital supplier must register for VAT in Tanzania, how the simplified regime works, and what ongoing accounting and reporting duties follow.

We walk through the scope of the rules, the registration threshold and process, invoicing and record-keeping expectations, and the practical mechanics of accounting for and remitting VAT - together with the risks of getting it wrong. The session suits finance and tax teams at any business supplying digital services to Tanzanian customers.
