(iii) Corporate Tax<br />

A legally registered company shall be liable for tax at the rate<br />

of 30% of the yearly taxable income.<br />

Example 9<br />

Let us consider that the above profit of TZS 3,955,000 from<br />

the books of account is for a company.<br />

Computation of income tax payable will be as follows: -<br />

Tax payable = Profit before tax multiply by tax rate<br />

= TZS 3,955,000 x 30%<br />

= TZS 1,186,500<br />

Therefore income tax payable by the company will be<br />

TZS 1,186,500<br />
