Zanzibar Revenue Authority (ZRA) is a vital Inland Revenue Administration Agency operating under the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGoZ). Its primary objective is to effectively enhance government revenue collection while promoting voluntary compliance among taxpayers.

ZRA’s core services encompass the assessment, collection, and administration of various domestic revenues, including Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duties, hotel and restaurant levies, and several others. The agency is committed to modernizing its operations through technological innovations, thereby contributing significantly to the national development goals of Zanzibar. It also offers e-services like e-registration and access to the ZRA Taxpayer Portal, facilitating smoother tax processes for businesses and individuals alike.

With a mission to be a trusted tax administration, ZRA is poised to play a critical role in promoting economic growth within Zanzibar.
