坦桑尼亚2026/27财年预算62.33万亿先令 目标GDP增长6.3%并投资铁路，为新企业提供一年免税期

The Tanzanian government will spend TZS 62.33 trillion (±USD 24 billion) in the fiscal year 2026/27, with 74.2% financed by domestic revenue and a deficit held at 3% of GDP, as foreign direct investment reached USD 21.7 billion in 2024.

The Minister for Finance, Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar, tabled the consolidated Government Budget in Parliament in Dodoma on 11 June 2026, under the theme of building economic resilience through digital transformation, strategic investment, and fiscal sustainability.

The 2026/27 budget is the first under Tanzania Development Vision 2050 and the Fourth National Five-Year Development Plan (2026/27-2030/31). It is built on five priority areas: governance and stability, a competitive and inclusive economy, human capital, climate resilience, and transformative sectors.

The TZS 62.33 trillion budget represents a 10.3% increase over the TZS 56.49 trillion approved for 2025/26.

Total revenue is estimated at TZS 46.79 trillion (±USD 18.0 billion), comprising tax revenue of TZS 36.99 trillion, other revenue of TZS 9.24 trillion (including Local Government Authority own-source revenue of TZS 1.97 trillion), and grants from Development Partners of TZS 563.1 billion.

Approximately three-quarters of the budget, or 74.2%, will be financed through domestic revenue, in line with the government’s stated self-reliance objective.

Grants from Development Partners are projected to fall 39.1% in 2026/27 compared to the prior year, which the minister attributed to changes in Development Partners’ policies.

Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings completed a first-phase assessment of Tanzania’s debt-servicing capacity for 2026, with results indicating that Tanzania remains creditworthy with a strong capacity to service its debt obligations.

Strategic Investment and Sector Priorities

The government will expedite strategic investments in industries built on minerals and energy, specifically rare earth minerals, natural gas, iron ore, and coal, with an emphasis on domestic value addition to agricultural, fisheries, livestock, and mineral products rather than raw export.

Railway corridors anchor the investment agenda. The government will continue Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) construction on the Dodoma-Mwanza and Isaka-Kigoma sections, and implement the TAZARA Railway Revitalisation Project. The government identifies the corridors as direct opportunities to stimulate economic activity in the regions they cross, eight regions for the SGR and five for TAZARA.

Dodoma is to be developed beyond an administrative capital into a transport and logistics hub serving Tanzania and neighbouring countries, with the SGR and the new Msalato International Airport positioned as the enabling infrastructure.

A dedicated financing channel for industrial zones is introduced: 5% of designated revenue will be transferred to a special Bank of Tanzania account to fund infrastructure development in Export Processing Zones (EPZ) and Special Economic Zones (SEZ), including compensation for land acquired for SEZ establishment.

Several measures target value addition and protect domestic processing. A 30% export tax (or TZS 200 per kilogram, whichever is higher) is imposed on waste paper to retain raw material for local paper manufacturers, and a 10% export tax on quartz minerals.

Industrial development levies of 5% to 10% are imposed on imported steel structures, aluminium structures, and fishing nets to favour local production. Import duty relief is extended to local vehicle assemblers, including electric and gas vehicles, supporting the target of making Tanzania a leading African vehicle producer by 2030.

The apparel value chain receives continued protection, with import duties on cotton grey fabric and finished garments set to favour clothing produced from locally grown cotton.The government will continue working with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Africa50, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to raise capital, guarantees, and technology for development projects.

Tax Measures

The government will reduce the share of taxable profit deemed distributed to shareholders (deemed retained earnings) from 30% to 15% under Section 33A of the Income Ta
