The concept of PAYE is based on 6 levels as follows:
Level 1
Pension amount equal to 10% of the gross salary is not taxable
Hence
Taxable salary = Gross Salary – Pension amount
Level 2
Taxable salary that is equal or less than TZS. 170,000.00 not taxable
Level 3
Taxable salary Between TZS. 170,000.00 and TZS. 360,000.00 Taxed 9% of the level 3
Level 4
Taxable salary Between TZS. 360,000.00 and TZS. 540,000.00 Taxed 20% of the level 4 + tax amount from Level 3
Level 5
Taxable salary Between TZS. 540,000.00 and TZS. 720,000.00 Taxed 25% of the level 5 + tax amount from Level 4
Level 6
Taxable salary above TZS. 720,000.00 Taxed 30% of the level 6 + tax amount from Level 5
