Zimbabwe Government Pressured To Introduce Wealth Tax

A Civil Society Organisations grouping has demanded the urgent introduction of wealth tax to facilitate the trickledown effect of financial resources to the country in a bid to reduce the alarming poverty levels. <br />The Zimbabwe Fight Inequality Alliance&#039;s spokesperson, Janet Zhou declared a week of action, piling pressure on the government to introduce a tax for the country&#039;s wealthiest. <br />Zhou says the abolishment of unjust and harmful tax incentives to multinational corporations is a long overdue outcome of a stakeholder consultative process. <br />Zhou stressed that it is time the government introduced a Covid19 Windfall Tax for corporates and individuals who have made phenomenal profits since 2020 to fund a just and equitable response to Covid19 induced poverty and suffering.
