ZCTU
against high taxation says no to high tax!
Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)

ZCTU
AGAINST HIGH TAXATION
SAY NO TO HIGH
TAX!
Why should workers
continue to negotiate for increaments in wages and salaries only for the
government to take all their gains while they remain poor and hungry?
Why should individual
income tax be 45% when company tax is 30%?
Companies are into
business for profit, while workers work for a living, so why should workers
be deprived of their right to life by being taxed to death?
| Current
Tax Bands per month |
ZCTU
proposed Tax bands per month |
0 to $200 000
= 0%
|
0 to $1000 000
= 0% |
$200 000 to $220
000 = 20%
|
$1000 000 to
$1500 000 = 10% |
$220 000 to $240
000 = 25%
|
$1500 000 to
$2000 000 = 15% |
$240 000 to $260
000 = 30%
|
$2000 000 to
$3000 000 = 20% |
$260 000 to $280
000 = 35%
|
$3000 000 to
$4000 000 = 25% |
$280 000 to $375
000 = 40%
|
$4000 000 and
above = 30% |
| $375 000 and
above = 45% |
|
45% income tax
is too much!!!!
The
ZCTU demands that the highest tax band be reduced from 45% to 30%. Wages
and salaries below the poverty datum line ($ 1 o69 300) should not be
taxed!!!
Pensions,
Bonuses, and Allowances e.g Housing and Transport, SHOULD NOT BE TAXED
Should
workers continue to negotiate for government?
This is the
time to fight for the recognition of your sweat and toil!
Speak out now,
talk to your friend! Talk to your workmate. Is it fair to lose almost
half of your salary on tax?
Say NO to high
taxation! Tax must be reduced now!!!
