The system aims at allowing the taxman to get correct sales information from businesspeople; reduce tax collection costs and helping businesspeople to comply with the Value Added Tax (VAT) regulations among others. This study assesses the challenges of EFD adoption among VAT registered traders in Tanzania, exploring Dar es salaam and Mwanza regions.
