Mthuli, Zimra sued over rice tax
Blessed Mhlanga ·
FINANCE minister Mthuli Ncube and the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) have been taken to court for double taxation on rice imports.
The matter was filed yesterday at the High Court under case number HC 1035/21 by Vongai Zimudzi, a human rights activist through her lawyer Obey Shava.
She wants government, through any of its agents, to be stopped from collecting value-added tax (VAT) from rice importers, saying this has resulted in prices of rice going up by between 20% and 25%.
