Action Aid Zambia says the move by Cabinet to rename the Revenue Appeals Tribunal as the Tax Tribunal is not enough as long as it is not strengthened.

Action Aid Zambia country Director Pamela Chisanga said her organisation will have to look at the contents of the bill before making a comprehensive statement on the issue.
Ms Chisanga sayid there is need for the tribunal to perform the functions for which it was created.She said changing the name will not matter for as long as the tribunal is not doing what it is suppose to do.

Ms Chisanga said Action Aid looks forward to seeing what other things are being done to strengthen the tribunal other than changing its name.

Cabinet has approved a bill to rename the revenue appeals tribunal as the tax appeals tribunal.
Chief Government Spokesperson Chishimba Kambwili pointed out that the purpose of the change is to ensure that the name accurately describes the functions of the tribunal.
