RE: PRESS RELEASE ON COURT JUDGMENT ON 2, INTERMEDIATED MONEY TRANSFER TAX
The Attorney General has brought to my attention the judgment on SI 205/2018 pertaining to the collection of Intermediated Money Transfer Tax.
That judgment will not affect the collection and levy of the Intermediated Money Transfer Is because the collection of the Tax under that Statutory Instrument 205/2018 was subsequently pvalidated by Parliament under the Finance Act No. 1 of 2019.
Consequently, the 2% tax will continue to be levied.
Hon. Prof. M. Ncube
MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Even god fears you as such we wil suffer 4 ever.you a ultimate judiciary
It seems our Finance Minister’s mission is to see us suffer till death. The 2% tax triggered the current inflation and price increases.The concept of one man one vote has failed in Zimbabwe. Why do some citizens continue voting for a political party which does not know how to run a small economy like ours for 39 years?????
