Kutoka Hotuba ya Waziri Mkuu Mizengo Pinda (26.08.2011) 'Makampuni yanayoogoza kwa kulipa kodi Tanzania'

Mr Mizengo Pinda, the primer minister of Tanzania

Among the leading taxpayers companies in the country, only one mining company (the smallest ino Resolute T), and only one telecom company.
Banks lead, household names like MeTL, Bakhresa, IPP, VodaCom, Barrick, AngloGold Ashanti are not seen in the list, why? No body knows for sure.

One can conclude that, Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) is the most profitable company in Tanzania while National Micro-finance Bank (NMB0 is said to be the most profitable Bank in the country.

2. --- Napenda kutoa rai kwa Makampuni yote Nchini kuiga mfano huu mzuri. 

Wito wangu kwa makampuni, wafanyabiashara wakubwa kwa wadogo na wananchi wote ni kuongeza juhudi katika kufanya biashara zao ili zizalishe kwa wingi na kupata faida kubwa zaidi. Faida kubwa itachangia katika kuongeza mapato ya serikali kwa njia ya kodi na hivyo kusaidia kukuza uchumi, kuongeza pato la taifa na la mwananchi mmoja mmoja na kuondoa umaskini. Niwadhihirishieni kwamba, serikali inatambua umuhimu wao kwa maendeleo ya nchi yetu na itahakikisha inaongeza juhudi zake za kuweka mazingira wezeshi kwa makampuni hayo kufanya shughuli zao vizuri ili kuwezesha kulipa kodi kwa mujibu wa sheria.
