Zimra tells business to lobby for suitable tax laws

THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has urged taxpayers to continue lobbying for a preferred tax environment to improve the country’s business environment.
A recent tax dialogue organised by The Financial Gazette heard that business is reeling from the pressure of complying with Zimbabwe’s tax laws.
“Legislation does not belong to Zimra, but it belongs to you, the taxpayers,” Zimra’s head of technical services, Mathias Chinanayi, said at the event.
“So, whenever you hear that there is a budget process and there are things that you feel should be changed, do make an effort to make submissions to the government to have those changes implemented.

“Zimra does not have the mandate to make laws, its duty is to collect revenue according to the current laws.
“The onus remains on business to lobby for whatever changes you feel should be made to the laws,” Chinanay
