The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) says Government is not going back to the old Sales Tax, but has created a hybrid of the traditional sales tax and VAT.

ZRA Commissioner Domestic Taxes Moses Shuko says the new sales tax is aimed at dealing with the economy, social protection and revenue collection.

In an interview with ZNBC News in Lusaka, Mr. Shuko said sales tax is progressive as it will protect both the business community and the interest of Zambians.

And Mr. Shuko has encouraged the business community and Zambians to visit the ZRA website and check on the exemption list on the Goods and Services tax.

He however called on the business community in the country to support the move which will enable government to collect enough resources for better provision of public services.

  1. – GBM is not going back to PF.
    – FRA will never lift export ban on maize, 2 week later another command.

    • ZRA kindly pay ZAMEFA their money. What game are you playing. You guys boast of revenue collection beyond your expectations year in year out.
      We read the sad article about ZAMEFA and that you are owing them.

  2. Sales tax however u brand it whether hybrid or not it’s still sales tax. It’s true effect lies in its basic definition “sales tax”. Jump around ZRA if you want but it will still catch up with you. Inflation will over ride the projected benefits. What ZRA has only achieved is avoiding refunds????????it surprising, it’s more like a shop owner who doesn’t want to give change. Yes it’s true we need beter public goods but private goods offer a more appropriate benefits to the citizenry and it’s more guaranteed. Sales tax is a very big burden on the people of Zambia…

  3. What do Local Economists know? Economics is only Good because it gives Economists Jobs, nothing else.

  4. May I have the ZRA SALES TAX EXEMPTION LIST
    If anyone is in a position to help me.
