Paul Nyathi|The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority has finally ordered for the arrest of Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Walter Magaya for tax evasion going up to $22 million.

The move by the police to summon Magaya follows a lifestyle audit done on him and his church dealings by ZIMRA, after suspicion that he had been under-declaring his earnings.

Records pulled up showed that Magaya is paid $40,000 per month, and his wife, Tendai, $15,500.

During the period January 2013 and December 2017, Magaya got a total $2,4 million, while his wife Tendai collected $950,000 or about $15,500 monthly.

This was revealed as PHD board member for finance Nelson Tawanda Marimo appeared before a Harare magistrate charged with four counts of Income Tax Act violations.

Police spokesperson Commission Charity Charamba confirmed police were investigating Magaya.

“He has been summoned for an interview,” she said. “Police are eager to interview him on allegations of tax evasion.”

Comm Charamba declined to give further details.
