The President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, has approved the addition of 300 new job positions at the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), bringing the total number of new jobs to 1,896, up from the initial 1,596 announced earlier.

This increase follows a request by TRA to add 300 job positions that had been allocated in the budget for the upcoming 2025/2026 financial year, to be filled through the recently concluded recruitment process request that has now been approved by President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan.

According to a statement released by the Tanzania Revenue Authority and signed by Mr. Moshi Jonathan Kabengwe, the Director of Human Resources and Administration on behalf of the Commissioner General, it was stated that the 1,896 newly recruited TRA employees will receive their appointment letters today, May 28, 2025, via their email addresses.

As per the TRA statement, the 1,896 successful candidates who have been hired are required to report to their designated venues on June 2, 2025, at 7:00 a.m. sharp, and must bring with them all the necessary documents as specified in their appointment emails.

The Authority expressed its appreciation to all applicants who showed interest in working with the Tanzania Revenue Authority and extended best wishes in their contributions to nation-building. Additionally, the 4,429 applicants who attended the interview stage but were not selected will have their information stored in the Authority's database for future use.

TRA initially announced 1,596 job vacancies in early February 2025, and received a total of 135,027 job applications. Out of these, 113,023 applicants met the criteria and were invited for the written screening exam held on March 29 and 30, 2025. The candidates who passed the written exam were invited for oral interviews held from May 12 to 14, 2025, during which 6,325 candidates participated.
