The government plans to mandate that most taxes and fees be paid exclusively in Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency to increase demand and stabilise its value.
This was said by Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister Mthuli Ncube during a dialogue with development partners in Harare on Wednesday. Said Ncube:
<blockquote>
Already, customs duties are now payable in local currency. Going forward and in line with the de-dollarisation roadmap, other taxes will also be paid exclusively in local currency, including payment for government services.
</blockquote>
However, most Zimbabweans believe that confidence in the ZiG currency would increase if essential items like fuel and services such as passport fees were payable in the local currency.
According to Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mushayavanhu, the ZiG is supported by US$450 million in foreign reserves as of October 10, 2024.
Since its introduction in April, the ZiG has depreciated from US$1: 13.5616 to US$1: 26.6718 as of October 16.

The government wants people to pay taxes and fees in Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) to make the currency stronger and more valuable. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said this during a meeting. Right now, only customs duties can be paid in local currency, but soon all taxes may be paid that way. People want essential things like fuel and passport fees to also be paid in ZiG. The currency is supported by $450 million in reserves. Since it started, ZiG's value has gone down. The government hopes this change will help the economy.

Taxes And Fees To Be Paid Exclusively In ZiG - Mthuli

The Government has reimposed duty on cooking oil, maize meal, milk, sugar, rice, flour, salt, bath soap, washing soap, washing powder, toothpaste and petroleum jelly imports.
In May 2023, the Government allowed the importation of the aforementioned products duty-free in response to shortages and rapid price changes as suppliers resorted to forward pricing.
The repeal of the duty-free status was gazetted on Wednesday, 31 January, by the Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion, Professor Mthuli Ncube in Customs and Excise (Suspension) (Amendment) Regulations, 2024 (No. 272) published in Statutory Instrument 10A of 2024. Reads the SI:
<blockquote>
IT is hereby notified that the Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion, in terms of section 235 as read with section 120 of the Customs and Excise Act [Chapter 23:02], has made the following regulations:-
1. These regulations may be cited as the Customs and Excise (Suspension) (Amendment) Regulations, 2024 (No. 272).
2. The Customs and Excise (Suspension) Regulations, 2003, published in Statutory Instrument 257 of 2003 (hereinafter called “the principal regulations”), are amended by the repeal of section 91 (Suspension of duty on Cooking Oil, Maize meal, Milk, Sugar, Rice, Flour, Salt, Bath Soap, Laundry Soap, Washing Soap, Washing Powder, Toothpaste and Petroleum Jelly) with effect from 1st February 2024.
</blockquote>
The repeal of the duty-free status is somewhat not surprising as the 2024 national budget proposed various taxes which have deepened citizens’ suffering.
Whilst Ncube backed down on some of his “outrageous” revenue-raising proposals, businesses and citizens now pay more taxes/fees than in 2023.

Govt Reimposes Duty On Basic Grocery Items

The recent move by the Government to suspend import duty and import value-added tax (VAT) on selected groceries is something Zimbabweans have become familiar with as it happened exactly 12 months ago.
The suspension was lifted in late November 2022, which means it has taken the Government just six months to reverse its decision amid soaring prices and a runaway exchange rate.
On Friday, 12 May, the Government suspended import duty and import value-added tax (VAT) on 11 basic grocery items: maize meal, rice, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cooking oil, petroleum jelly, toothpaste, bath soap and washing powder.
The suspension of the import duty and import VAT shall be valid for six months from 12 May 2023.
The development evokes a sense of déjà vu as similar measures to address rampant price increases were put in place in May 2022.
In May last year, Ministry of Finance and Development permanent secretary George Guvamatanga directed Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) then acting Commissioner-General Regina Chinamasa to suspend duty on selected products for a period of six months with effect from 17 May 2022. Wrote Guvamatanga:
<blockquote>
Reference is made to the press statement by the Minister of Finance and Economic Development where a pronouncement was made regarding the introduction of measures aimed at ensuring access to affordable basic commodities, in view of the recent substantial increases in prices of locally manufactured products.
In view of the above, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority is hereby authorised to suspend duty on the following products for a period of six months with effect from May 17, 2022.
</blockquote>
Rice, flour, cooking oil, margarine, salt, sugar, maize meal, milk powder, infant milk formula, tea (whether or not flavoured), petroleum jelly, toothpaste, bath soap, laundry bar were to be imported duty-free.
Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube scrapped the suspension of import duty when he presented the 2023 national budget on 24 November 2022.
In his budget presentation at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden, Ncube said:
<blockquote>
Mr speaker sir, the government suspended customs duty on basic commodities in order to cushion consumers from unjustified price increases, this measure has contributed to stability in prices of basic commodities, hence the suspension which expired on November 16, 2022 will not be extended.

Six Months Ago Govt Re-imposed Duty On Basic Groceries

Economic commentators have condemned the measures announced by Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube last week to stablise the exchange rate and prices of goods and services.
Some of the measures included the removal of duty on 11 selected basic grocery items, allowing businesses to keep 100% of their locally generated forex revenue, and a pledge to fine-tune the foreign exchange auction system so that it operates on a pure Dutch auction basis.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/business/article/200011510/it-will-not-work-industry-tells-ncube">Standardbusiness</a>, economic analyst Vince Musewe said Ncube’s measures are reactive and will not work. He said:
<blockquote>
An economy cannot be managed in a reactive mode from crisis to crisis, but sadly that is what is happening.
There is no debate that Zimbabweans prefer the US dollar and those with US dollars will continue to demand a premium.
Despite the country generating US$12 billion per annum, the appetite for the US$ dollar will never be satisfied and it is clear the informal sector does not react to economic policy measures but operates to maximise profits.
This has resulted in a supermarket economy where everyone is selling some imported trinkets to make a living and importing basic goods kills local industry.
The scenario has not changed where the rate goes up inflation goes up and the rate goes up creating a vicious cycle.
It is time to realise that the dollarisation of incomes is the only sensible thing to do to cushion citizens.
Salaries and wages must now be in US dollars and companies must freely charge in US dollars.
The economy has rejected the Zimbabwe dollar; nobody wants it.
</blockquote>
Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) chief executive officer Sekai Kuvarika said:
<blockquote>
I think we need to give the stabilisation measures a chance before we destabilise the manufacturing sector by flooding the market with cheap imports.
You also have to remember that these imports are coming from environments that are not the same as we are.
</blockquote>
She said there was no shortage of basic commodities in the country.
Another economic analyst Stevenson Dhlamini said:
<blockquote>
It’s difficult to conclude whether they are effective or non-effective, but it’s showing that they are appreciating that we are in a crisis.
There is a clause where the minister says he will increase the interest rates to curb inflation in the short term.
My belief is that the interest rates and the parallel market have to continue to chase each other.
The more you increase interest rates the parallel market simply increases its premiums to compensate for the higher interest rates.
So the question can be: is the interest targeting the best or the most effective response at this stage or rather we should be addressing the sources of money supply growth?
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor John Mangudya said that the measures will support the issuance of gold coins and tokens by the central bank.

It Will Not Work, Economists Tell Mthuli Ncube

The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) has urged the Finance and Economic Development Ministry to adjust the cigarette tax regime.
This comes amid indications that the country is losing US$248 million annually to illicit cigarette deals owing to a mixed taxing regime that benefits cartels at the expense of industry players.
Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube recently increased excise duty on cigarettes to 25% + US$5/1000 from 20% + US$5/1000 cigarettes saying it was a regional benchmark and the move will curb illicit flows.
In its latest report, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) implored Treasury to do away with the ad valorem rate of 25% and remain with the specific rate. It said:
<blockquote>
We request that the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development remove the ad valorem rate of 25% and remain with the specific rate of US$16 per mile of cigarettes.
The ad valorem component is subject to manipulation and is a huge cost as production increases.
The estimated fiscal benefit from this proposed move is US$248m per annum based on the current production rate and the prospects of future production once it is removed.
We also strongly urge the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development to put in place a predictable cigarette excise duty regime.
</blockquote>
The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) also called for the removal of the current mixed excise duty on cigarettes. CZI said:
<blockquote>
CZI recommends that there is a need to migrate from the current mixed excise duty regime for tobacco to a specific excise duty regime, which brings certainty to investors while also maintaining revenue inflows for the government as well as eradicating illicit cigarette markets.
The current ad valorem excise duty is prone to manipulation by cigarette companies through falsification of ex-factory prices or controlling sales transactions with third parties so that the ex-factory price is lowered to reduce the excise amount.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, ZNCC has called on the government to provide tax relief to the sector as the wider economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. | <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/zim-loses-us248m-to-illicit-cigarette-deals/">Business Times</a>

Zimbabwe Loses US$248 Million To Illicit Cigarette Deals

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has challenged players in the tourism sector to voluntarily pay their taxes to enable the government to improve infrastructure within the tourism sites across the country.
Addressing tourism players in Bulawayo on Friday, ZIMRA commissioner general, Regina Chinamasa, said:
<blockquote>
There is a need to complement the tourism sector with equally world-class services such as roads, security and health services within the tourism sites across the country.
Such services are driven by the government through largely the taxes and levies we all pay. Tax compliance by the tourism and hospitality sector is therefore key.
We want the tourists to have a memorable drive to the different sites across the country, enjoying the scenic sights along the way.
</blockquote>
Currently, the tourism sector contributes about 7% of Zimbabwe’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Chinamasa believes the sector can contribute more to economic recovery as the country is considered one of the preferred destinations by tourists. She said:
<blockquote>
The sector has vast potential to be among the anchor sectors of the country. Currently, tourism and hospitality is among the top three foreign currency generators in our country.
The country is home to a robust, diverse and rich culture that is admired by many. Your sector is ably managed as evidenced by the world-class hotels, lodges, resort sites, and camps among other sites that offer a hospitality environment.
With such a glamour record, the country is considered one of the preferred destinations by tourists.

ZIMRA Urges Players In The Tourism Sector To Pay Tax

Youths who are involved in small-scale mining have appealed to authorities to reduce the mining levies required for one to operate in order to allow growth and development in the sector.
In June 2021, the government, through Statutory Instrument 185 of 2021, announced new mining fees which are considered exorbitant by small-scale miners.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/small-scale-miners-cry-foul-over-exorbitant-taxes/" rel="nofollow">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) youth secretary for Matabeleland North, Nkululeko Ngwenya said the high fees are negatively affecting the growth of the mining sector. He said:
<blockquote>
Mines inspection fee is US$300, Environmental Management Agency (EMA) wants US$250, then the council also wants US$400. The money needed is too much and affects growth in the sector.
We are asking that the government might consider our pleas and reduce operations fees so that the industry may grow and boom, supporting development in the mining sector.
</blockquote>
Ngwenya said the exorbitant fees have hindered many small-scale miners from formally registering and regularising their illegal operations.

Small-scale Miners Plead For Reduction Of Taxes

According to last Friday’s Gazette the government has introduced taxes for most informal businesses such as taxi cabs, commuter omnibuses, hairdressers cross-border traders among others. The new wave of taxes take effect from January 1 2017 and were brought into being by the Finance Act 2017.
The taxes will be as follows
<blockquote>Hairdressers: $10 per chair per month
Informal Cross border traders:  10 percent of the value of the goods imported.
Commuter Omnibuses – 15-25 passengers : $45 per month
Commuter Omnibuses – 26-36 passengers : $70 per month
Driving Schools (class four vehicles) :  $100 per month
Dviving Schools (class one and class two vehicles): $130 per month
Taxi cabs (seating up to 7 passengers ): $25 per month per taxi cab
Goods Vehicles carrying between 10 tonnes and 20 tonnes: $200 per month
Goods Vehicles carrying more than 20 tonnes: $500 per month</blockquote>
