1 FINANCE BILL, 2010 MEMORANDUM This Bill will amend the Finance Act [Chapter 23:04], the Income Tax Act [Chapter 23:06], the Capital Gains Tax Act [Chapter 23:06], the Value Added Tax Act [Chapter 23:12] and the Customs and Excise Act [Chapter 23:02] and, the Mines and Minerals Act [Chapter 21:05]. In more detail, the individual clauses of the Bill provide as follows: Clause 1 This clause sets out the Bill s short title. Clause 2 The Finance (No. 3) Act, 2009, repealed the 29 th Schedule to the Income Tax Act, which contained a definition of a small or medium enterprise. Such a definition is required for various purposes under our revenue laws. Accordingly, this clause proposes to provide a comprehensive definition of what constitutes a small or medium enterprises or business in accordance with a formula to be inserted in the Finance Act. Clause 3 This clause defines the term licensed investor so as to make it clear that licensed investors are those persons that were licensed under the Export Processing Zone Act [Chapter 14:07] before it was repealed. Only these licensed investors may benefit from the favourable tax treatment extended to them under section 14(2)(e) of the Finance Act. Similarly, only those Industrial Park Developers and operators of a Designated Tourist Development Facility who commenced their operations before the 1 st January, 2010, may benefit from the favourable tax treatment extended to them under section 14(2)(i) and (j) of the Finance Act. Clause 4 This clause has the effect of raising the monthly tax-free threshold from $160 a month to $175 a month with effect from the 1 st September, Clause 5 This clause provides for the reduction in non residence tax on remittance from 20% to 15% to be in line with other withholding taxes like those on technical fees, royalties, interest and dividends. Clause 6 This clause provides for the review on tax exemptions. Currently interest earned on foreign currency account is exempt from tax. However since every account is denominated in foreign currency there is no need to retain paragraph 10(j) of the Third Schedule that exempts tax on foreign currency accounts. The clause also makes certain other changes to the Schedule of a minor or consequential nature. Clause 7 This clause deals with the review of tax deductions allowed in respect of buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment used for commercial, industrial and farming purposes.

2 2 Currently the special initial allowance for small to medium enterprises are pegged at 150%. This clause seeks to reduce this allowance to 100%. Another amendment restricts the special initial allowance in respect of the cost of fiscalised electronic registers purchased by a taxpayer. The purchase of these machines qualifies for relief in terms of the new paragraph (k) of section 15(3) of the Value Added Tax as inserted by this Bill. Clause 8 This clause provides for the increase in the period within which the Commissioner may at his or her discretion allow employers to withhold employees tax, from 3 to 10 days. Clause 9 This clause will repeal the Fourteenth Schedule to the Income Tax Act, which provided for tax benefits in favour of growth point areas. These areas no longer exist as a legal category under the Income Tax Act. Clause 10 This clause improves the provision for the export tax on unprocessed chrome inserted in the Value Added Tax Act by the Finance (No.3) Act of The new section 12B defines the term unbeneficiated chrome so as to include semi-processed chrome concentrates in order to encourage meaningful value addition of chrome ore. The clause further raises the export tax on unbeneficiated chrome ore and fines from 15% to 20%. Clause 11 This clause allows registered operators to deduct 50% of the cost of acquisition of fiscalised electronic registers from the sum of output tax payable under section 15of the Value Added Tax Act. Clause 12 This clause amends section 28 of the Value Added Tax Act, by changing the day upon which returns and payments of tax are to be submitted and paid from the tenth day to the fifteenth day. Clause 13 This clause provides for the reduction on capital gains tax on unlisted securities from the current 10% to 5%. This has been necessitated by the reduction of capital gains tax on listed securities from 5% to 1% with effect from 1 January Clause 14 This clause will amend section 136 of the Customs and Excise Act (which requires applicants for an excise licence to enter into bond) by empowering the Commissioner to waive the bond requirement if the licensee meets certain conditions. Clause 15 This clause will increase the penalty for any person who avails their vehicle for the purpose of smuggling goods from level 7 to level 14 on the standard scale of fines.

3 3 Clause 17 In order to minimise fraud in the transit of motor vehicles through Zimbabwe (where such vehicles are entered for transit but in fact are used or sold within Zimbabwe), this clause seeks to ensure that no motor vehicle in transit shall be driven on any road in Zimbabwe, but must be transported on a long-haul motor vehicle carrier. Clause 18 This clause provides for the increase of the royalty payable on precious metals from 3,5% to 4%.
