As a law abiding citizen of Great Zimbabwe, I make sure I pay my taxes when they are due in terms of the law.

It came as a surprise when a few days ago, I got a call from ZIMRA.

“I am from the debtors department, you owe us $20,000.00 in taxes,” he said. “You need to pay up soon before we take measures to take the matter for prosecution,” he added, with a rather soft voice at odds with the underlying threat of prosecution.

“Based on my records, I owe you nothing, I pay all my taxes,” I defended myself.

“I suggest we meet for alignment. Our system reflects that you owe the government,” he suggested.

And so we met. At Kurima House - former Barclays Bank branch.

I had never been there since many years ago when I had a Barclays Bank current account, and the branch manager there had asked me to come and collect my Visa Electron card.

I must say that Zimra office looks well refurbished - nice paneling and partitions, etc. Good job.

We went through the tax records. In the end, he could not find exactly where the $20000 was coming from, though it was on the system.

“I can’t see how it’s coming about. I suggest you go to the TARMS office upstairs. They have a deeper access into the system,” he advised.

So upstairs we went. The office is on the 6th Floor. We found it after a bit of trouble with the elevators.

In the TARMs office, a few people sat in there, and it seems they have super-user access and deeper TARMS training.

“Please have a sit, I will be with you shortly. You are clients, we don’t want to keep you waiting”, one of them said pleasantly.

I must say that @MthuliNcube01, his deputy K. D. Mnangagwa, @GGuvamatanga & Zimra executive seem to have invested in customer services training at @Zimra_11. They have also invested a lot in digitizing Zimra.

After going through the system, he turned his computer screen and started explaining.

“You obviously paid what was due, and in accordance with your QPDs,” he said. “Exactly!” I jumped in. “However…” he proceeded, ignoring my gleeful interruption. “… Your Q3 and Q4 QPDs show a significantly higher income than the first two. So when you submit those QPDs, our system assumes you owe us money from the previous QPDs. In other words you under-declared. As a result, our system recalculates the previous QPDs at the higher income levels in the last quarter and deems that as owing, and applies interest on those amounts owing,” he explained.

“But that’s unfair,” I mused. How am I to know that Q4 income is going to be higher in January? I asked him.

He explained that it’s just how the tax system is designed. He acknowledged that many businesses tend to make more income in the last quarter because of business cycles, and fall into this situation.

Perhaps the government should review this situation as it can affect businesses as they will owe the government unnecessarily just because of business cycles. If you make more income in Q4, it’s unfair for that cycle to be retrospectively applied as debt owing plus interest.

I am sharing this because there is a chance you owe ZIMRA due to this kind of situation.

Read and learn.

The Kariba boat disaster has taken more than 80 people. Chalala is 50km across the water, 410km by road. That boat was never just transport. It was the only road Nyaminyami had. When it went down it took lives, and then it took the route.

The fact that we don't need to go through any human to get to God is an underrated privilege.

Hie @StanbicBankZW. My card keeps getting blocked every other week, especially during intl travel. I'm stranded abroad, no transport, no hotel phone. l send a whatsapp my banker and l wrote and email to @zmcc no response yet.

Last week they requested they wanted me to call directly, l had just arrived in a foreign land where language was a barrier, l had not gotten to the hotel because my card couldn’t literal transact, 2hrs to find a generous person who borrowed a phone.

Same situation today. 2hrs counting. FIX THIS l am stranded.

l speak highly of your services on this platform and recommend many for your services.

I think as Zimbabwe, we don't celebrate our sports heroes and heroines enough to inspire the younger generations.

I hope Zimbabweans know that we have a 10 time Tennis Grand Slam winner in Cara Black.

In other countries, players who haven't won as much grand slams are cult heroes and they play a huge part in growing the sport in their countries.

During this Wimbledon Open season, I thought I should remind Zimbabweans that we have a 5 times Wimbledon Doubles Champion in Cara Black. That she did it in 2004, retained the championship in 2005 and also won it in 2007 is amazing.

I don't know where Cara is at the moment but I want to say shout out to you our Champ!

Plastic is not just waste. Research shows that microplastic creates an ideal environment for bacterial reproduction and can even change their properties. What happens to microorganisms and why can the effectiveness of treatment decrease?
