Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia Revenue Authority has said that it has the 2021 Revenue Target of K59.369 billion has been exceeded four months before the end of the year. In a statement released to the media by Topsy Sikalinda, the Corporate Communications Manager, ZRA said that it has collected K59.450 billion against the annual target of K59.369 billion and refunded K7.846 billion mainly to the mining sector and that at the current trajectory, the Authority will post not less than K20 billion above the 2021 national revenue budget.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, this performance was largely been driven by automation, intelligence-led enforcement activities, enhanced transfer pricing audits in the mining sector, favorable copper prices and improved debt collection by the newly created Debt Recovery Unit and that all ZRA operating divisions namely Customs, Indirect Taxes, Direct Taxes and the Debt Recovery Unit are above target.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to automation and robust debt enforcement, there were increased payment of outstanding arrears by some taxpayers including Government as well as increased payments of balance of taxes by some Mining and non-Mining companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith renewed confidence in the Zambian economy following the peaceful change of government and the pro-business UPND government policies, the Authority is expected to perform even better.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Authority takes this opportunity to thank all taxpayers for the great contribution they are making to our country, \u201d concluded the statement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
