ECONOMIST ADVISES CAUTION IN PLANNED MINES TAX REGIME


An Economist has advised government on the need for a cautious revision of the mines tax regime in order to maximise national revenue benefits.
Oliver Saasa says there is need to strengthen the entire tax regime and not just address the proposed re-introduction of windfall tax.
Professor Saasa has told ZANIS in Lusaka that the taxes in the mining sector must be amalgamated in order to realise maximum benefits from Zambia’s mineral wealth.
He has further advised the PF government to take time in revising the mines taxes in order to avoid introducing retrogressive policies and taxes.
