Question

write an essay on the sources of revenue for tanzania's local government authorities

Answer 1

Answer:

In 2002, the main revenue sources for urban local governments were licenses and fees, the Service Levy and property taxes, in that order (Table 2.7), which together account for roughly two-thirds of total revenues for an average urban government.

State and local governments collect tax revenues from three primary sources: income, sales, and property taxes. Income and sales taxes make up the majority of combined state tax revenue, while property taxes are the largest source of tax revenue for local governments, including school districts

In response to the need for local government finance statistics, a number of

coordinated efforts are under way by LGRP and MOF (under the auspices of the

Coordinating Block Grant Implementation Team) to assure that a more complete

set of local fiscal data is generated and systematically analyzed. In November

2004, these efforts by the CBGIT culminated into the first annual Local

Government Fiscal Review document. The purpose of the Local Government

Fiscal Review 2004 is to provide an accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date

overview of intergovernmental fiscal relations in mainland Tanzania. Based on

data from the Ministry of Finance, as well as self-reported local government

budget data aggregated by the LGRP, the Review provides the first

comprehensive profile of local government expenditures, revenues, transfers, and

local government borrowing. Local government revenues are specifically dealt

with in Chapter 3 of the Review, documenting the current resource profile of

Local Government Authorities in Tanzania, and noting any significant trends in

the composition and amount of local resources.
