Managed payroll in Tanzania

Managed payroll for teams employing people in Tanzania. A specialist calculates PAYE, NSSF or PSSSF contributions and the Skills Development Levy, reviews the run, and prepares your filings.

How we run it

  1. You send the month's changes: hours, starters and leavers.
  2. We calculate PAYE and every statutory deduction for Tanzania.
  3. A payroll specialist reviews the run.
  4. You approve it. Nothing is filed or paid without your approval.
  5. We prepare and submit filings, send payslips, and prepare bank files.
