Finance Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube has through Statutory Instrument 96 of 2022 amended Sections 22B, 22G and 39 of the Finance Act to reflect changes on the Intermediated Money Transfer Tax (known as the 2 per cent tax), the Automated financial transactions tax and Rates of capital gains tax withholding tax. We present the SI below:

  • (b) five hundred thousand United States dollars. a flat intermediated money transfer tax of ten thousand one hundred and fifty United States dollars shall be chargeable on such transaction.”.

Amendment of section 39 of Cap. 23:04 4.

With immediate effect, section 39 (“Rates of capital gains tax withholding tax”) of the Finance Act [Chapter 23:04] is amended by the repeal of paragraph (c) and the substitution of—

  • “(c) in the case of a sale of a marketable security that is a listed security, one comma five per centum of the price at which the security was sold if such security was held for at least two hundred and seventy (270) days on the date of its sale, or four per centum of the price at which the security was sold if such security was held for less than two hundred and seventy (270) days on the date of its sale.”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note does not form part of the regulations, but explains its purpose) For the avoidance of doubt, all transfers of marketable securities as defined in the Capital Gains Tax are liable to capital gains tax, including transfers not liable to the withholding tax because they are not mediated through a depositary or agent. Where no depositaries or agents are involved, a corporate secretary or other person responsible for the share register should not register any transfer of shares until proof of payment of any capital gains tax due on the transfer is exhibited to him or her.
