Zambia Revenue Authority -ZRA- Commissioner General DINGANI BANDA has assured stakeholders of the Commission’s commitment to implementing transparent criteria for payment of refunds.
Mr. BANDA says he has directed the senior management team responsible for the administration of refunds that based on the available resources the Commission will adhere to the first in first out -FIFO- principle in the allocation of refunds to be paid.
