Zimra to step up efforts in revenue collection

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) says it will aggressively seek out arrears from free riders following a 4% increase in gross revenue collections to $264,79 million in January.

Speaking at the Zimra Media Workshop in Harare yesterday, Zimra acting commissioner general, Happias Kuzvinzwa said strategies in improving electronic services, electronic cargo tracking, and widening fiscalisation improved gross and net revenue collections.

“The authority collected gross and net revenue amounting to $264,79 million and $262,21 million respectively, against a target of $254,10 million, which translates to a growth in net revenue of over 13% when compared to the $232,01 million which was collected during the same period last year,” he said.
