ZRA COMMISSIONS MOBILE OFFICES
By Ruth Chayinda
Government has commissioned two tax mobile office vans aimed at enhancing tax compliance and domestic resource mobilization.
Zambia Revenue Authority -ZRA- Commissioner General DINGANI BANDA says the state of the art mobile tax buses will bridge the gap in areas that have limited access to tax administration.
Speaking during the launch, Mr. BANDA said the mobile tax vans will enhance the Authority’s presence as it is only present in 37 districts.
And speaking at the event, Acting Permanent Secretary for Budget and Economic Affairs MWAKA MUKUBESA said the launch of the mobile tax vans is part of Governments strategy to improve tax education and public service delivery.
And German Ambassador to Zambia ANNE MITCHELL said the low presence of ZRA offices poses a challenge for tax payer service provision and contributes to lower levels of tax literacy and compliance.
