Dear users,
Starting from November 1, 2024, Alibaba Cloud charges value-added tax (VAT) at a rate of 18% for Alibaba Cloud services that are provided in Tanzania and are not registered for VAT in Tanzania according to the Tanzanian regulations on cross-border e-commerce services. All VAT charged by Alibaba Cloud are paid to the Tanzanian tax authority.
To clarify your VAT registration status in Tanzania, perform the following steps: Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Expenses and Costs console. On the Tax Settings page, enter the VAT registration number of your company. By default, Alibaba Cloud sees the users who do not provide the VAT registration number as the users who are not charged VAT. In this case, Alibaba Cloud charges these users VAT at a rate of 18%.
If you have any questions, contact the sales manager or the after-sales support team.
We appreciate your support.
