Presenting the Mid-Term 2024 Fiscal Policy this afternoon at New Parliament Building, Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube proposed legislating the 50/50 corporate tax payments in local and foreign currency

requirement, mandating presumptive tax payments in local currency despite the currency of trade, and accepting local currency for duty on selected non-essential imports.

Since its introduction in April this year, ZiG has maintained relative stability and promoting the wider use of the local currency is expected to further solidify its position and contribute to macroeconomic stability.
