THE leading electronic payment solutions provider, which trades as Maxmalipo, has reiterated that it fully supports President John Magufuli’s tax compliance drive, as it focuses on improving its services to win more tenders floated by various public and private institutions.
At a media briefing session in Dar es
Salaam yesterday, the Maxmalipo’s Executive Director, Mr Ahmed Lissasi,
said the company was proud of recording success in a few years that they
were contracted by a number of key institutions.
They include Tanzania Electric Supply
Company (TANESCO), Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Corporation
(DAWASCO) and Police Force. He said as the government was widening its
tax base and ensures every member of the public fulfils his or her tax
obligation, the firm is currently undergoing major transformation to
ensure it catches up with the State’s speed.
“We have brought major transformation in
payment systems in the country… nowadays, you can’t find people lining
up for, say, purchasing LUKU at vending stations; we have made payment
easier,” the company’s boss said.
Mr Lissasi asserted that as they had
currently expanded to neighbouring countries, employing thousands of
Tanzanians, the firm continues with its spirit of ensuring that it fully
pays tax to the government.
“In 2015, our company was even approved
as one of the large taxpayers in the country… we are happy with this and
we are doing more to ensure we excel further,” the director noted.
Mr Lissasi noted furthermore, that as
the firm was already in the final stages of floating shares at the Dar
es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), and was taking into consideration all
necessary precautions, to ensure that when it starts going public, its
services would remain exemplary.
He said their competitive proposals and
company profile coupled with good record, always put them at an
advantaged position to grab a number of tenders.
He stated that, after being awarded a
tender, the company was responsible for all activities related to
payment solutions, including supplying, installing and commissioning of
all distribution and vending channels.
To ensure a win-win situation and mutual
benefit, the director explained that they were sometimes voluntarily
reviewing the contracts and accommodates some changes to ensure every
side was satisfied.
He revealed, for instance, that in the
recent past, DAWASCO asked for a contract review, to which they
consented, resulting to reduction of commission from previous six per
cent to four.
“To better serve our customers, we use
all reasonable efforts to provide the service in accordance with
provisions of the agreement entered on a 24-hour basis throughout the
term of the particular agreement,” he affirmed.
