Govt Losing Millions At Border Posts As Syndicates Abuse Returning Residents Facility

Government is losing millions of dollars in potential revenue to syndicates abusing the immigrants’ rebate facility (Returning Resident) to import vehicles duty free at Beitbridge Border Post and other ports of entry.

Statistics from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) show that so far 17 cases were intercepted between December 2017 and April this year. 3 256 cars were imported under the Immigrant Rebate facility via Beitbridge border post in 2017.

In an interview with The Chronicle yesterday, Zimra acting head of communication Mr Taungana Ndoro confirmed the developments and said:

From 01 December 2017 to date, 17 cases have been intercepted for abuse of Returning Residents facility (Immigrants rebate). Some of the methods used by such people to clandestinely import the motor vehicles include situations where clients are being used to declare motor vehicles, which do not belong to them. In such cases agents buy cars and pay clients to declare the vehicles under Immigrants rebate. In addition, we also encounter clients who would have been granted immigrants rebate within the last four years trying to import another vehicle.
