ASM and industrial gold origin. Primary mining licences are for citizens only (Mining Act s.8(2)). Minerals may be bought and sold only at Mining Commission Mineral and Gem Houses (44 markets) and buying stations; mining and special mining licence holders may sell at any market (s.27C, now s.32). Export only by a mineral right holder or licensed dealer that has paid royalty and the inspection fee (s.19(3) R.E. 2023), under a Commission export permit (Form MTF.2; USD 100 / TZS 230,000) after examination, weighing and sealing by the Resident Mines Officer, with an ICGLR regional certificate (GN 449 of 2019 reg 13). Royalty on gold is 6% of gross value (s.111(1)(c)), 4% for gold sold at refinery centres (since 1 July 2022) or to the Bank of Tanzania (since 1 July 2024); one third of royalty is payable in refined gold to the National Gold and Gemstone Reserve; inspection fee 1% (not refineries, not sellers to the BoT); HIV Response Levy 0.1% from 1 July 2025. Since the Finance Act 2024 (in force 1 July 2024) mineral right holders and licensed dealers must set aside not less than 20% of gold for refining and trading in Tanzania; the Government through the BoT has the exclusive right to buy it, delivered to three designated refineries, paid within 24 hours of the refining report (BoT and Commission notices from 1 Oct 2024). The exception for companies with Government agreements was deleted from 1 July 2025. Export proceeds must come back through a Tanzanian bank within 90 days (Foreign Exchange Regulations 2022 reg 7). No export tax on gold. BoT reports buying about 28 t in 18 months to July 2026.

[conflict] Mineral and Gem Houses Regulations 2019 reg 6(3) exempts artisanal and small-scale miners selling at the Houses from withholding tax and VAT. The Income Tax Act (R.E. 2023) s.106(1)(e) requires buyers of precious metals from PML holders and artisanal miners to withhold (final withholding), and the VAT Act item 25 exempts supplies at buying stations and Houses. The model follows the later Act for withholding (a regulation cannot override the Act) and treats VAT as exempt at the Houses. Affects tz.st-06, tz.tax-wht-asm, tz.tax-vat.
نص القانون[conflict] Rive & Co (2026) reports a 4% export tax on unrefined gold. The Export Tax Act Cap. 196 R.E. 2023 Schedule (hides and skins, wet blue, copper scrap and others) and the items added by the Finance Acts 2025 (veneer) and 2026 (paper scrap, cakes and bran, quartz sands and feldspar) contain no gold item. The model follows the Act: no export tax on gold; tz.tax-export-tax removed.
نص القانون[conflict] The 2019 amendment to the First Schedule export permit fee (USD 100 / TZS 230,000) is printed as GN 289 (published 12 April 2019) on madini.go.tz, while the Mining Commission's signed copy of identical text is marked by hand "GN 235 published 22/03/2019". The model cites GN 289 and notes GN 235; the Gazette would settle it. Affects tz.law-trading-amend-2019, tz.tax-export-permit-fee, tz.st-43.
نص القانون[conflict] Official notices use old section numbers: the BoT notices and the Commission notice of 7 Oct 2024 cite "s.59" for the set-aside (s.69 in R.E. 2023); the smuggling guideline cites ss.6(4), 18 and 91(2) (R.E. 2019 numbering). The Commission gold guideline cites "Kifungu cha 73A" for the BoT, while Finance Act 2024 s.58 inserts s.72A. The model gives both numberings and follows the Acts. Affects tz.ctl-bot-preemption, tz.st-20.
نص القانون[conflict] GN 449 of 2019 makes gold a designated mineral (reg 2) and forbids export of designated minerals without an export permit and the ICGLR certificate (reg 13(1)). The Mining Commission export procedures page lists an "ICGLR Certificate for Tin, Tantalum & Tungsten Minerals" only. The model follows the regulation (primary law) and requires the certificate for gold (tz.st-47, tz.ctl-icglr); whether it is issued in practice for gold was not confirmed.
نص القانونغير مسجَّلPractitioner guidance (Rive & Co, 2026) names a TMAA assay, "Form MTF.13" as the export application, a 4% export tax on unrefined gold, 5% withholding tax, and TRA as royalty collector. In the texts read: TMAA was disestablished and its functions passed to the Mining Commission (GN 8 of 2018); the export application is Form MTF.1 and MTF.13 is the non-resident special permit (GN 2 of 2018); the Export Tax Act has no gold item (see tz.div-export-tax-gold); royalty and the HIV levy are collected by the Mining Commission. Exporters may meet these out-of-date terms.
