Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>It is now evident that it is practically impossible for the new dawn administration to REDUCE the high cost of living in our Country. A modern economy grows when people spend money.<\/p>\n

To provide relief, President Hakainde\u2019s new dawn Government must give ordinary Zambians and companies more SPENDING POWER TO AFFORD the record high cost of living and doing business.<\/p>\n

Solutions, In Part 1. Flood the economy with money. Reduce PAYE and other individual related taxes. (RB\u2019s Economics). 2. Lower businesses related taxes and statutory obligations.<\/p>\n

3. Scrap off selected council levies and combine some of them.<\/p>\n

4. Give incentives to local small and medium Zambian companies who have employed fellow Zambians. No local business should be closed for failing to pay taxes or council levies.<\/p>\n

5. Remove tax holidays for foreign companies.<\/p>\n

6. Lower company tax for all companies both local and foreign to increase tax compliance.<\/p>\n

7. Introduce new laws against transfer pricing and review all the existing tax treaties with tax haven countries.<\/p>\n

8. A solid, clear and aggressive approach to move our economy from foreign dependency to local economic development (LED) in all sectors.<\/p>\n

We cannot surrender ourselves to the analogy that it is \u201chappening everywhere \u201cand do nothing. Our leaders, Our Government must respond. GPZ, Our People First.<\/p>\n
