The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has taken delivery of 26 Toyota Starlet vehicles from Toyota Zimbabwe as it seeks to enhance its organisational performance.
This first batch is part of an order of 35 Starlet vehicles Toyota is supplying to ZIMRA. Speaking during a handover ceremony in Beitbridge, ZIMRA Commissioner General Ms Regina Chinamasa said the new fleet would impact positively on the tax collector’s operations.
“The addition of these vehicles to our fleet comes at the right time as it had become unsustainable to maintain the aging vehicles that were previously in use. This new fleet will greatly enhance our ability to effectively and efficiently administer ZIMRA’s critical functions,” she said.
Ms Chinamasa said the vehicles would be deployed across departments within ZIMRA, from field auditors to customs and revenue teams.
The cars would allow ZIMRA officers to reach parts of the country that had been under serviced and ensure that the organisation effectively implemented the domestic resource mobilisation mandate. ZIMRA remains committed to delivering exceptional service to taxpayers and facilitating smooth trade processes across Zimbabwe,” said Ms Chinamasa.
“The vehicles will play a pivotal role in enhancing ZIMRA’s operations and supporting the critical work undertaken by the organisation.
“The remaining nine vehicles are expected before year end although a firmer date will be confirmed after accounting for delivery logistics.”
