Abstract
This study assess the impact of conflicting laws in revenue collection at Chake Chake Town Council Zanzibar. The study was undertaken in Chake Chake Local Authority where was studied that they are unable to collect revenues sufficiently due to inadequate laws which empower them to collect revenues. The laws are conflicting with other laws which empower other institutions to collect revenues from similar sources. Hence they are financially weak and cannot finance local projects. The methods which were used for data collection are documentary review and interviews. The aim of the study is to find out the legislations which conflict each other on revenue collection by Chake Chake Town Counci in which it is empowered to collect revenues from sources like extraction of sand and rocks, transportation of natural resources, business licenses and building under the Local Government Authorities Act No.7 of 2014. Other institutions like the Forest Department, the Environmental Department and Fisheries Department are also empowered to collect revenues form similar sources under their respective laws. Such situation causes multiplicity of taxes and impracticability of laws as among the impact of conflicting laws. Following such situation, several recommendations have been given including amendment of laws to allow only local authorities to collect revenues from such sources.
