Car duty still in forex: Zimra


DUTY on imported cars will not be affected by the recent devaluing and renaming of the surrogate currency, because all imports are cleared in hard currency, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has said.

In a statement released by the revenue collecting authority, duty levied on imported cars will not be converted to the real time gross settlement dollar (ZWR).

"For designated goods, which require duty to be paid in foreign currency, as provided for in Statutory Instrument 252A of 2018, the duty calculation remains in foreign currency and, as such, the duty payable will be unchanged," the statement read.

Zimra continues to demand foreign currency despite Statutory Instrument 32 of 2019, which makes the ZWR legal tender for all transactions in the country.

"That such currency shall be legal tender within Zimbabwe from the effective date … that for all accounting purposes, all assets and liabilities that were, immediately before the effective value date, valued and expressed in United States dollars shall on and after the effective date be deemed to be values in (ZWR)," part of the SI read.

Zimra also noted that duty for fuel and cement will not be affected by the recent devaluation of the ZWR and duty will continue being paid at 1:1.

"For duty computations using specific rates of duty, such rates are denominated in the newly introduced (ZWR). Therefore, such duty calculation transactions will not be affected by the recent legislative changes. Examples of products on which specific duty rates are applied are petrol, diesel, paraffin, wine and cement," the statement read.

Govt indefinitely lifts imports ban

Government has amended indefinitely Statutory Instrument (SI) 122 of 2017 to allow companies and individuals with offshore and free funds to import specified basic commodities that are in short supply due to the speculative behaviour of local retailers and panic-buying by consumers.
The decision to amend SI122 was reached by Cabinet at its sitting yesterday and announced by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa at a weekly media briefing.
She said Acting Minister of Industry and Commerce Dr Sekai Nzenza presented to Cabinet the prevailing situation in the market regarding the availability and prices of basic commodities.
“The continuing increases in prices effectively push the commodities beyond the reach of many of our people,” Minister Mutsvangwa said.
“Cabinet further observed that owing to panic and speculative buying, products which used to be sold over a month, are now being sold in just three hours’ time, a situation which is completely unsustainable.
“Accordingly, as a way forward, Cabinet resolved as follows; that the Minister of Industry and Commerce temporarily amends SI122 of 2017 to allow both companies and individuals with offshore and free funds to import specified basic commodities currently in short supply pending the return to normalcy in buying patterns of the public and adequate restocking by manufacturers.”
Commodities that can now be imported include animals oils and fats (lard, tallow and dripping), baked beans, body creams, bottled water, cement, cereals, cheese, coffee creams, cooking oil, crude soya bean oil, fertiliser, finished steel roofing sheets, wheat flour and ice cream.
Those with free funds can also bring in jams, juice blends, margarine, mayonnaise, packaging materials, peanut butter, pizza base, potato crisps, salad creams, shoe polish, soap, sugar, synthetic hair products, wheel barrows, agrochemicals and stock feeds.
“Cabinet also resolved that Government, through the RBZ, should support the productive sector through foreign currency allocation to ensure that they adequately stock up for the forthcoming festive season; that more resources be channelled towards primary production, particularly agriculture, with focus on soya beans and wheat; that efforts be taken to improve logistics for fuel supply. Related to the foregoing, Government resolved that the Bank Use Promotion Act which outlaws the three-tier pricing system be enforced forthwith.
Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube said the Government’s decision was aimed at improving the supply of basic commodities.
“All we are doing is increasing supply of commodities and allowing those with offshore funds and free funds to buy whatever they want to buy and bring it in. What’s wrong with that?” he asked.
“It’s not the first time we are doing it; we did in 2009 when we were coming from a hyper-inflation era and we learnt some lessons but it is also basic economics,” he said.
“We don’t have to know at what rate you get your money or dollar; it’s not our business. What is our business is to make sure that you have food on the table and (whether) you bought it from South Africa we will not stop you from bringing it in (even if it’s) at a lower price than you would have gotten it here.”
Dr Nzenza also said the decision by Cabinet was meant to alleviate the plight of ordinary consumers. She said Government was committed to increasing productivity in the local industry.

Customs to acquire modern liquid testing devices
THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) says it will acquire advanced testing equipment to monitor liquid imports in a bid to curb smuggling.
At the moment, the department cannot monitor the liquids using its current scanners and relies on individual declarations.This makes it vulnerable to false declarations, a senior Customs official said at the weekend.
“The department (Zimra) will soon acquire advanced technology to test bulk liquid imports and see if it matches declarations,” Customs and Excise manager at Beitbridge, Paul Mthembu, said at the weekend.“At the moment, we can only, through scanning, see it’s a liquid without being able to see which type.”
He was responding to a question by Beitbridge East legislator Albert Nguluvhe, who asked if Customs and Excise scans could differentiate between petrol and water.
Nguluvhe was on a familiarisation tour of the Beitbridge Border Post on Sunday.“We have heard stories where some dealers import fuel purporting it’s in transit, but dump the product on the local market. They then fill tankers with water, they later acquit as fuel exported to other countries, only to throw it away in that country after their fraudulent deal,” Nguluvhe said.
Customs has resorted to vehicle escorts and electronic trackers to monitor trucks in transit in order to minimise smuggling.
In some cases, importers of crude oil have been accused of bringing in finished products.In 2017, former Zimbabwe Revenue Authority chairperson Willia Bonyongwe said they had lost close to $1 billion to transit smuggling.
Mtembu said his department was in the process of acquiring modern devices after top Zimbabwean and South African Customs and Excise officials met in Musina recently to increase co-operation at the Beitbridge port and also discuss the planned one-stop border post between the two countries.

Pre-owned car imports surge 40pcThe Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has recorded a 40,9 percent increase in imports of pre-owned vehicles at Beit Bridge border post in the last eight months, it has emerged.
Officials statistics from Zimra indicate that the parastatal is collecting $8,5 million from vehicle imports at the country’s and SADC’s busiest inland port of entry monthly.
ZIMRA’s acting head of communications Mr Taungana Ndoro said yesterday they were processing an average of 205 imports of second-hand vehicles at Beitbridge alone daily.
These, he said included those cleared under the returning residents rebate facility (Immigrant Rebate).
Second-hand vehicle imports mainly from Japan, UK, Singapore and South Africa are handled at Malindi and Manica Transit shades respectively while new and those which fall under the immigrant rebate are done at the border post.
“We have recorded an increase in vehicle imports at Beitbridge between January and August this year in comparison to the same period in 2017. This year we processed 45 368 import documents for vehicles coming in through South Africa against a total of 26 781 handled last year during the period under review.
“In addition, in 2017 we were processing an average of 2 000 cars per month and the number has increased around 5 000 in 2018,” he said.
According to Statutory Instrument 154 of 2001 — Customs and Excise (General) Regulations, 2001 an Immigrant Rebate is granted to any person who enters the country to take permanent residence or a visitor but remains to take up employment or permanent residence or a diplomat but remains to take up employment or permanent residence or to attend any educational institution; or for the purpose of attending any educational institution.
They are allowed to import household property and vehicles duty free on condition that they satisfy the ZIMRA Commissioner General that they owned the goods and the same (goods) were fully paid for before or on the first occasion of entry into the country and declaration as an immigrant.
Mr Ndoro said under normal circumstance one motor vehicle should be cleared within five and six hours from the time of submission of the requisite and correct documents.
“This includes three hours for physical examinations and duty calculations and payments and another two hours for the necessary verification and processing of the Certificate of Customs Clearance (CCC),” he said.
The Herald is also reliably informed that Government is losing thousands of dollars in potential revenue to syndicates who are abusing the immigrants’ rebate facility (Returning Resident) to clandestinely import vehicles duty free across most ports of entries.
It is understood that the racket is well pronounced at Beit Bridge Border Post where most vehicle imports from South Africa are processed.
Statistics from ZIMRA show that 17 immigrant abuse cases were intercepted between December 2017 and April this year.
Further, a total of 3 256 cars were imported under the Immigrant Rebate facility via Beit Bridge border post in 2017. On average a modest vehicle attracts import duty of between $2 500 and $5 000.
