Excise Duties (Alcohol, Tobacco, Petroleum Products)

Excise duties in Tanzania are taxes on specific goods, typically those considered harmful or luxury. The main excisable products are alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, petroleum fuels, and some categories of motor vehicles, as well as a few miscellaneous items (sugar sweetened beverages, etc.). These duties raise significant revenue and also serve health and environmental policy objectives by disincentivizing certain consumption.
