ZRA WORKING TO CLOSE TAX COMPLIANCE GAP - AUTHORITY IS RESOLVED TO SUPPORT DOMESTIC RESOURCE MOBILISATION EFFORTS

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) Commissioner General Dingani Banda says the Authority is prioritizing reforms to improve tax compliance, strengthen risk management, and modernize tax administration as it works to close Zambia’s tax compliance gap.

Speaking at the launch of consultations on the 2027–2031 Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS) in Lusaka this morning, Mr. Banda said the compliance gap, estimated at about 45 percent, remains far higher than in countries such as South Africa, where it stands at about 13 percent.

“We have a huge compliance gap of about 45 percent, and this is a gap that we must address if we are to collect enough revenue to meet the needs of the country. We need to strengthen compliance, manage risks better and ensure that all taxpayers are treated fairly and equally,” Mr. Banda said.

Mr. Banda said the Strategy will introduce a strengthened compliance risk management framework, supported by continuous monitoring of emerging risks and data from Smart Invoice and other systems to detect anomalies and expand the tax base.

At the same event, Secretary to the Treasury, Felix Nkulukusa, said the MTRS aims to promote a fair distribution of the tax burden through progressive formalisation and simplified tax registration.

Willie Chipango, Director of Budget at the Ministry of Finance and National Planning said the Strategy will support the Zambia Growth Agenda by strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation.
