No going back on 2 cents tax - ED   

President Mnangagwa yesterday said the Intermediary Money Transfer Tax of 2
cents will remain in force as it is critical in transforming the economy,
which has suffered from two decades of stagnation.The President said the tax
was not designed to hurt ordinary people and companies, but to help the
manufacturing sector get funds for retooling and modernisation as the
economy gears to ramp up production. However, there is room for the tax to
be refined going forward if suggestions are proffered, to create a win-win
situation for individuals and companies on one hand, and the economy on the
other. President Mnangagwa said this while fielding questions from delegates
during the Professional Women, Women Executives and Business Women's Forum
(Proweb) breakfast meeting in Harare yesterday.  <http://www.bulls.co.zw/>

$1,50, up from $1 since 2009. The fares increased this past weekend as
commuter omnibus operators face higher fuel and motor spare parts costs from
the new tax imposed last week.  <http://www.bulls.co.zw/> Read more >
