DAR ES SALAAM: The Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam, Albert Chalamila, has called upon Inchcape Automotive Tanzania, a car distribution company, to set an example of tax compliance in the country.
He made this statement in Dar es Salaam on Thursday while unveiling new vehicles introduced to the country through Inchcape Automotive Tanzania.
He acknowledged that the presence of the company in the country is among the results of President Samia Suluhu’s efforts to create a conducive business environment for investors.
The RC emphasized that productive investments go hand in hand with tax compliance, as all national projects are funded by taxes.

She stated, “The decision to invest in Tanzania was due to the enduring economic relationship between Tanzania and China.”
