Zimra announced on Friday a list goods that now attracts 25% surtax with effect from January 1. This announcement is expected to have an effect on food prices and other basic commodities as they are set to increase following the announcement.
The development follows disclosures that government officials, including ministers, were bringing commodities into the country without paying duty. This includes luxury motor vehicles and even food.
The surtax, according to Zimra, will be charged on things such as food stuffs, second-hand light passenger motor-vehicles which are more than five years old from the date of original manufacture, and many other commodities.
