Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube has warned companies and banks that Treasury will soon penalise them for failing to remit the Intermediated Money Transfer Tax (IMMT) on time.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Saturday in a wide-ranging interview with The Sunday News, Ncube said that although there has been a significant rise in domestic remittances, the increase is not being reflected in Treasury inflows because companies are delaying giving the government its IMMT on time.<\/p>\n

Ncube said this is forcing the government to borrow in order to fund development projects. He said:<\/p>\n

These delays then force Government to borrow through instruments such as Treasury bills so that we can fund development projects currently underway.<\/p>\n

The delay in remitting taxes to Treasury by money transfer companies forces the Government to borrow through such instruments as Treasury bills to fund development projects.<\/p>\n

But the problem with remittances due to Treasury is not unique to money transfer companies alone. Even banks are guilty of this.<\/p>\n

Treasury through the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) is currently owed about US$6 million by banks in Value Added Tax remittances that they should pay to ZIMRA.<\/p>\n

My Ministry will soon begin to penalise them if they hold onto funds due to Treasury for longer than necessary.<\/p>\n

Proposed penalties will be twice what they should remit to Treasury if they delay.<\/p>\n

Members of Parliament across the political divide recently rejected Ncube\u2019s proposal to criminalise non-payment of taxes, saying civil penalties should remain in place.<\/p>\n
