The delay allows proper framework development rather than rushing into flawed execution.
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority currently cannot adequately assess complex holdings of high-net-worth individuals. Financial experts warned that weak systems would create...

Legal processes must be completed before any new rates can take effect.
The proposed changes would significantly reduce business expenses across Zimbabwe. Agricultural permits and transport charges face major reductions under the new framework. Number plate costs would drop from five hundred dollars to fifty dollars, while dairy...

Former dictator Chun Doo-hwan's family considers permanent placement of his remains at his Seodaemun-gu residence.
