The Zambia Revenue Authority -ZRA- is this week expected to renew the tax collection agency for 33 local authorities when the initial contracts expire.

ZRA Acting Commissioner General JOSEPH NONDE says the authority wants to continue working with the local authorities so that they can continue collecting taxes from the informal sector.

Mr. NONDE says the authority is not present in all districts and it is now relying on the 33 councils to help it collect revenue.

He said this at a workshop to review tax collection agency between ZRA and local authorities which has been in operation since September 2020.

And Local Government and Rural Development Permanent Secretary MAAMBO HAAMAUNDU urged ZRA to utilize Information and Communication Technologies in tax collection.

Mr. HAAMAUNDU said ICTs are more effective and easy to utilize.
