Govt grants tax exemptions for Tokwe-Mukosi contractor

Government has granted tax reprieve for the contractor of Tokwe-Mukosi Dam and its expatriate staff, as it moves to speed up the completion of the project which has been stalled by shortage of funding.

The announcement was made in an extraordinary Government Gazette published last week.

In the notice, Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa said the exemptions were in terms of clause 73 of the agreement between Salini Impreglio and the government for the construction of the dam.
