Beauty comes at a cost. And this is so for Tanzania female entertainers.

Tanzania’s minister of Finance and Planning Phillipo Mpango proposed new taxes for locally manufactured and imported wigs and hair extensions which are quite popular with female celebrities in Tanzania.

This move was received with much applause after it was tabled in the 2019-2020 budget in Parliament.

Media reports indicate that the legislators applauded with gee.

According to the finance minister, wigs manufactured locally will now pay 10 per cent tax whereas imported ones will attract 25 per cent tax.
