Elaborating to the lawmakers, Dr Mwigulu said all automatic teller machine (ATM) transactions not exceeding 30,000/- will not be charged.

According to the minister, free transactions announced will come into effect from October 1, 2022.

To cover the gap, the Minister said: "The government will control its expenditures in various spending's."

However, he said that the government has reversed the decision to give tenants a mandate to withhold 10 percent of house rent in both private and commercial buildings.

The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) will collect it directly from landlords, the Minister said.
