DEBT COLLECTION FEES TABLE
In the tables below, you will see what fees the debtor must pay in addition to the original claim.
The larger the claim, the higher the additional cost. The amounts vary somewhat depending on whether the client is entitled to deduct VAT or not. The rates are valid as of 01.01.2025.

(Guidelines For Payment Reminders & Debt Collection Notices)
Those who have not paid a claim may receive a maximum of two reminders, alternatively one reminder and one collection notice.
Many people believe that a reminder must be sent before a debt collection notice can be issued, but this is not required by law.
A debt collection notice may be sent as soon as the first day after the due date on the invoice. However, no additional reminder fee (set at Tsh. 7770) may be charged until after 14 days have elapsed.
A debt collection notice shall always have a 14-days deadline. The same applies to a payment request, which must have a 14-days deadline as well.
