POST REGISTRATION MATTERS

Any changes in the company should be reported to the Registrar as soon as possible. After noting the reported change, the registrar registers it upon payment of filing fees. If a change is not reported on time, a penalty is imposed.

If a company fails to take off after one year for any reason, the officers may notify the Registrar, who issues a notice to strike the such company off the register of companies. If no notification is made, the Registrar has reason to believe that the company is carrying on business and is thus required to comply with all the requirements relating to existing companies.

ONLINE COMPANY REGISTRATION IN TANZANIA

The Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA) has finished developing a modern Online Registration System (ORS), which includes the registration of Companies, Business Names, Trade and Service Marks, and their respective post registrations, as well as the issuance of Patents and Industrial Licenses. Customers will be able to access all BRELA services from wherever they are, at any time of day, without having to visit BRELA premises. BRELA has begun offering services online in modules, beginning with industrial property services such as trade and service marks, patents, and company registrations. Furthermore, the number assigned to the registered company via ORS corresponds to the Registered Company’s TIN ID Number. As a result, you should take a company registration certificate to the nearest Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) office to collect the company’s TIN certificate.
