Jane Mlambo| As Zimbabwe slowly moves towards dollarisation, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has reportedly started collecting carbon tax and insurance from foreign registered vehicles entering the country.

In a communication currently in the possession of Zimeye, a Zimra official wrote to shift managers informing them of the new measure.

This is contrary to government insistence that the local bond note is at par with the United States dollars.

Below is the communication between Zimra employees on the new tax measure.
