Market traders in Tanzania launched a nationwide strike against tax hassles this week with pockets of resistance to government peace overtures still evident by Thursday.
This week's strike began at Kariakoo and later spread to other urban markets across the country, indicating rising discontent over alleged harassment by government revenue collectors especially when inspecting compliance with requirements for electronic fiscal device (EFD) receipts and electronic tax stamps for transactions.
