2 What is Taxation Tax is a Compulsory monetary contribution to the state's revenue, assessed and imposed by a government on the activities, enjoyment, expenditure, income, occupation, privilege, property, etc., of individuals and organizations. A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name. Taxation is therefore the process through which governments impose and collect taxes from individuals and corporations. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 2
3 The charge year A charge year, also referred to as the tax year, is a year for which tax is assessed or taxable. Incomes and gains arising in a particular charge year are taxable in that year. The Zambian charge year runs from 1 st January to 31 st December. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 3
4 Why tax Broadly to collect government revenue. Other reasons include: a. Achieve allocative efficiency: Marketing Perfections e.g. monopolies, public goods may not be produced without government intervention, yet they are so important for the function of the economy e.g. road, bridge construction, cheap education and health facilities for the poor. Therefore government s role is to overcome or prevent market failures b. Achieve Equity: Refers to the adjustment of distribution of income and wealth to what society deems fair and just. Government tries to achieve allocative efficiency and equity by allocating resources using taxes, social security and influencing allocative distribution c. Achieve some macro-economic objectives: Macro economic objectives of the government is to ensure high levels of employment and economic growth, low inflation and interest rates, free stability and reasonable budget deficit and external balance of payment. Government uses fiscal and monetary policies to achieve economic objectives. Fiscal policy is government policy on taxation and government expenditure d. Regulate: Government legislates and enforces laws of contract, consumer protection, justice etc to ensure there is free competition in the market. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 4
5 Canons of a good tax system Taxation should not hinder economic development. It should promote production of goods and services Taxation should be easy and cheap to administer. It should fall directly on the tax payer Taxation and its rules should be simple, predictive, certain and easily understood. Taxation should promote fairness and equity. It should bear equally so as to give no individual an advantage. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 5
6 Canons of a good tax system Administrative Simplicity A good tax system needs to be easy and relatively inexpensive to administer. It needs to minimize both direct and indirect cost. Direct costs are cost of collection while indirect taxes are complaints costs. General overall administration costs depend on a) extent of record keeping, b) number of tax and rate structure, c) level of enforcement/ implementation, and d) type of income being taxed Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 6
7 Canons of a good tax system Equity (Fairness) A good tax system ought to be fair in its relative treatment of different tax payers. Fairness can be looked at in two ways 1) Horizontal Equity where individuals in the same position in all respects should pay equal amount of tax 2) Vertical Equity where individuals who are in a position to pay more should actually pay more. Progressive taxation promotes vertical equity Fairness is based on the ability to pay. To be fair, a tax system should be a) Predictable: not characterized by uncertainty about the tax due (know when to pay and how to pay b) Based on observable and measurable variables e.g. income expenditure c) Not to be an inconvenient with respect to timing on manner of payment d) Not that equity objectives might conflict with efficiency objectives Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 7
8 Canons of a good tax system Political Responsibility A good tax system should be designed in such a way that individuals can be ascertain what they are paying so that the political system can more accurately reflect preferences of individuals i.e the taxpayers should be able to scrutinize what they are paying tax for. The burden and benefit should be easy to ascertain. A politically responsible system is where changes in tax come about as a result of consequent legislated changes and where government and is appraised by the citizens on its expenditures platform. This is in order to ensure that resources are not used in favor of certain group interests. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 8
9 Canons of a good tax system Flexibility A good tax system ought to be buoyant or elastic and be able to respond to economic circumstances to counteract fluctuations in the level of economic activities. For policy makers, the major concern is the responsiveness of tax revenues to national income Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 9
10 Canons of a good tax system Efficiency A tax system should be economically efficient. A good tax system should not interfere with the efficient allocation of resources as individuals try to minimize tax liabilities. A good tax system should minimize the distortions and dis-incentives effects to work and to serve which may affect the economy. A tax is said to be non-distortionary if there is nothing one individual can do to change his/her tax liabilities. Most if not all taxes are distortionary. Income taxes are distortionary if their imposition of taxes makes people work less. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 10
11 Types of taxes There are various types of taxes, broadly divided into : 1. Direct (which is proportional e.g. PAYE) and Indirect tax (which is differential in nature e.g. VAT). 2. Byrates (Progressive taxation system, Regressive taxation system and Proportional taxation system) 3. Capital taxes (e.g Property transfer tax and Mineral Royalty Tax) and Revenue taxes (e.g. Income Tax, VAT) Note: Refer to class exercise on Byrates Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 11
12 Tax regulation in Zambia The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) was established. as a semi-autonomous body through an Act of 1994 to take over the functions of the then Department of Income Taxes and Department of Customs & Excise, under the Ministry of Finance. It was envisioned that the ZRA would be more efficient and effective in its main function of collecting revenue for the Central Government, than its predecessor departments. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 12
13 Pursuant to the ZRA Act, the ZRA is charged with the responsibility of collecting revenue on behalf of the Government of the republic of Zambia under the supervision of the Minister of Finance. The main responsibilities of the Authority are:- 1) To properly assess and collect taxes and duties at the right time Functions of ZRA 2) To ensure that all monies collected are properly accounted for and banked 3) To properly enforce all relevant statutory provisions 4) To provide statistical information on revenue to the Government 5) To give advice to Ministers on aspects of tax policy 6) To facilitate international trade Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 13
14 ZRA Governing structure In accordance with the Zambia Revenue Authority Act 321, the Authority is under the Governing Board whose specific responsibilities are: 1. to oversee the organization and administration of the Authority and management of its resources, services, property, and personnel and 2. to develop the corporate strategic plan and such other administrative policies as are necessary for the smooth running of the Authority. The Commissioner General, who is appointed by the Republican President, is assisted by Senior Management Members (SMM). The Commissioner General is responsible for the day to day running of the Authority's business under the direction of the Governing Board.

17 Liability to Income Tax Our discussion will first focus on Income Tax. Income tax is chargeable on the income of persons resident and ordinarily resident in Zambia. Residence means both taxable individuals and other taxable persons For an Individual residence is defined by: If s/he is physically present in Zambia for a period not less than 183 days in a charge year If s/he normally lives in Zambia If s/he comes to Zambia with the intention of staying for more than 12 months. For a person other than an individual, such as companies, residence is determined by: If that person is incorporated or formed in Zambia The central management and control of the person s business affairs are exercised in Zambia. A company is centrally managed and controlled in Zambia if the Board of Directors for that company meets in Zambia for the purposes of decision making affecting the company. Module 1: Introduction to Taxation 17

Income is money received during a given period of time in the form of salaries, trading receipts, interest from investments, dividends, rentals, income from farming All the mentioned is supposed to be taxed. But tax is at defined rates depending on what sort of income it is and the source of that income. Though we have listed what can be classified as income, not all incomes listed above will be taxed.
