Good morning Mr President, @Hakainde,
Your budget is big on policy and aspirations while the fiscal tightening is pulling in an entirely different direction.
You are running out of ideas for broadening the tax base because you and your minister of finance are far too old school to understand modern finances.
On taxes for example, it isn't just a question of picking which tax will generate how much revenue, you ought to be looking at who will be affected the most by the tax.
You are asking Zambians to participate in the Grow Zambia agenda on one hand but double the cash grab from them - people who already have limited savings and are unable to access affordable finance.
As an example:
Between Levy on Mobile money & VAT, which of the two taxes is more Grow Zambia supportive?
Yes, you guessed it. VAT, under the current Zambian economy structure is primarily import based with most household items exempt.
Yet you go ahead to double the former while marginally adjusting the latter.
Your budget along with your entire governance approach says to Zambians, "stay this one out", while gleefully opening the door widely to foreigners.
VAT + CAPITAL MARKETS == GREATER PUBLIC EXPOSURE TO COPPER (essentially a synthetic windfall tax).
Muleishiba utuntu yama.
try this one Chief, found mostly in chinese (not sure if they are chinese or just asian lol) quite affordable
enjoyed giving you back shots @ManUtd let’s do this again next time
