Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 45039, member: 636"] Zimbabwe's tax collection agency wants car owners to come forward about vehicles brought into the country illegally. ZIMRA announced people have until July 31 to fix problems with their cars without facing punishment. The agency will help owners who contact regional offices during this special time period. Anyone who bought cars through wrong channels can use this chance to make things right. People just need to visit their closest ZIMRA office to start the process. Many different types of vehicle problems qualify for this program. Some people paid less money at the border when bringing cars across. Others never paid special taxes that were required at import time. Smuggled vehicles and cars with expired temporary permits also count. People who used fake paperwork to avoid paying duties can also apply. ZIMRA will remove fines and penalties for people who come forward voluntarily. Car owners still must pay all the original taxes and duties they owed. Interest charges on late payments will also remain due. The agency wants to collect money that should have been paid earlier. This helps the government get revenue that was lost through illegal imports. After July ends, ZIMRA will take tough action against rule breakers. Officers will seize any vehicles that were cleared improperly after the deadline passes. The customs law gives officials power to confiscate these cars permanently. This program aims to stop smuggling and make sure everyone follows import rules. ZIMRA hopes many people will use this opportunity to avoid future legal troubles. [/QUOTE]
