The findings revealed that the main factor which affects PPP revenue collection
performance in Ilemela, Misungwi and Kwimba Districts was monitoring of agents.
The Researcher found that there was an increase in revenue after PPP on revenue
collection since collections were above 60% as 2013/2014 budget illustrates. The
adoption of fiscal decentralisation in Tanzania many local governments involved in the
collection of taxes using public servants. However, they further observed that due to
the increasing appetite for tax base expansions and outsourcing of tax collection,
private tax collection or tax farming was adopted as an innovation. Private revenue
collection is credited for its direct advantage of reducing operation and administrative
costs that would otherwise be spent on revenue collectors and the whole collection
process.
The impact of PPP could be witnessed by a relative increase in the current turnover
from the privatized portfolios. This indeed points to many things but it also reveals that
there was no room for revenue losses in such practices as tax evasion. The study found
that local government authorities have increased revenue collected.
The study noted that there is a close relationship between revenue collectors and
performance. Much as most important local tax includes the property tax, the
authorities that provide a basis for health and reliable collection. The local authorities
were reluctant to apply knowledge about implementation. It became difficult for them
to have control over revenue from both external sources and the locally raised
revenues. Thus they bring efforts together to bring the efficiency in collection
methods. It‟s true that, many districts have managed to collect revenues efficiently
due proper relationship between these agents of the economy.
