Tanzania has announced the elimination of taxes on electricity and natural gas used in transportation and for household purposes. The move, unveiled during the presentation of the government’s 2026/2027 budget proposals, aims to promote wider adoption of cleaner energy sources. Accompanying the tax removal are additional measures designed to further encourage the use of electricity and natural gas. The government hopes these changes will lessen reliance on traditional fuels and contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape. Details of the specific additional measures were not immediately available. The announcement was made in parliament on June 11, 2026, as part of broader revenue and expenditure estimates. This policy shift signals a commitment to cleaner energy alternatives within Tanzania.
