Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda delivered the Budget Statement 2013 today. Those interested in taxation only should see the ZRA Budget Highlights.

Also the new tax on transfer of mining rights will help with the perverse situation in the gemstones industry. But closer study of the Budget is needed!
