What GGML's Commitment to Compliance Reflects About Mining's Role in Tanzania's Future.
Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML) was honored by the Tanzania Revenue Authority as the most compliant taxpayer and outstanding contributor for the 2024/2025 period. The mining sector continues to be a primary driver of Tanzania's economic growth, contributing significantly to the national GDP.
Why it matters
The mining industry's fiscal performance is critical to Tanzania's long-term economic vision of becoming a USD 1 trillion economy by 2050.
On 1 July 2026, Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) presented Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML) with two awards at its Presidential Taxpayer Awards ceremony in Dar es Salaam: the Overall Most Compliant Taxpayer and Outstanding Tax Contributor for the 2024/2025 financial year.
The ceremony was presided over by President of the United Republic of Tanzania H.E Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan and marked TRA's 30th anniversary, bringing together government officials and private sector representatives to recognise those whose fiscal conduct has most consistently served the national interest.
GGML's recognition at the 2026 ceremony follows a sustained track record at the highest levels of Tanzania's taxpayer recognition framework.
The company was acknowledged as the most compliant taxpayer in the mining industry for 2021/2022 and received recognition for outstanding export goods value in the same year. In 2020/2021, it was recognised as the overall second largest taxpayer in Tanzania.
