Tanzania Free Online Invoice Generator (VAT)

TRA TIN + 18% VAT in Tanzania shillings

A workable TZS invoice shows supplier name, address, TIN, unique number, date, customer, shilling lines, 18% VAT when charged, and total. Safari packages often mix taxable services and exempt park-fee pass-throughs — edit tax lines per row instead of forcing one blanket rate.

/tz is TZS + TRA VAT. If you are not VAT-registered, open a no-tax layout. This editor drafts the client PDF; it does not replace VFD hardware.

Mobile tills for deposits — bank transfer for corporate AP

Freelancers, guides and small traders clear many deposits on M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa or Airtel Money — print the till or wallet ID and require the invoice number in the payment note.

Corporate AP in Dar still wants a CRDB, NMB, Equity Bank Tanzania, NBC, Exim Bank, Absa Tanzania, DCB, Azania Bank, TPB Bank, KCB Tanzania, Stanbic Tanzania, Access Bank Tanzania, Bank of Africa Tanzania, I&M Bank Tanzania or peer transfer with the account name matching the supplier. Split safari deposits (mobile) and final balances (bank) when that matches how the operator already collects. Net 7 / Net 14 with clear calendar dates (DD/MM/YYYY).

One template per TIN keeps offer and invoice series tidy through peak safari season. Confirm TRA treatment before printing 18%.

Offer under /tz → invoice when booking or LPO confirms

Safari and agency work usually starts as an offer under /tz with TZS defaults; invoice when the booking deposit or local purchase order (LPO) is confirmed.

Keep offer and invoice series apart. Add 18% only after registration and supply type are clear — if VAT appears only on the bill, leave the offer untaxed.

VFD and TRA filing stay outside the browser

This site creates editable client PDFs. It does not replace a TRA fiscal device (VFD), e-filing or a tax adviser.
