New ticket code for ZNZ departures

TANZANIA’s Airport Service Charge of US$30 (R237) for international departures and TZS5 000 (R162) for domestic departures can now be collected at point of sale effective immediately rather than upon departure at the airport. The charge currently exists in the tax database under Tanzania with an exception of ZNZ and PMA, which was collected at time of departure. Tax name is ‘Airport Tax’ and the amounts for both international and domestic are the same so there is no increase. ZNZ and PMA now want the tax to be collected at the time of issue of a ticket, with a different code. The lifting carrier is responsible for remittance and the charge must be shown separately on the ticket. Natalia Thomson (nataliat@nowmedia.co.za)
