Tanzania: Tanzania's Finance Act, 2026 marks an important shift in the country's mining investment landscape, not because it fundamentally amends the Mining Act itself, but because it changes the fiscal significance of framework agreements. While the only direct amendment to the Mining Act is the establishment of the Mineral Survey Fund under section 149A, the more consequential reforms are found in the tax legislation, where framework agreements have become the gateway to a range of construction-phase fiscal incentives, including excise duty remission, income tax exemptions and VAT relief. At the same time, Parliament has introduced stricter compliance obligations and penalties for misuse of those incentives. The reforms point to a broader policy shift.
