    Annex.pdf
    The Office of Acquisition and Assistance (OAA) at USAID/Tanzania issued guidance clarifying procedures for Value Added Tax (VAT) reimbursement claims by Implementing Partners (IPs). The document addresses ongoing challenges with VAT exemption and refund processes, updating prior notices from 2018 and 2021. To qualify for VAT reimbursement as allowable costs, claims must be submitted to the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) at least six months before seeking USAID reimbursement, demonstrating diligent pursuit of the claim, and proper documentation must be provided to Agreement Officials. Each claim will be evaluated individually, requiring prior written approval from the contracting officers. It emphasizes that any VAT reimbursements will impact program budgets and urges IPs to ensure tax compliance and engage local legal expertise. The guidance aims to improve coordination between USAID and IPs, reducing negative impacts on program implementation and ensuring adherence to tax reporting obligations. For further queries, partners are directed to contact their assigned Acquisition and Assistance Specialist.
