The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) says it will confiscate at least 2 000 vehicles that were imported through the abuse of the civil servants’ rebate scheme.
The underhand dealings were unearthed during an operation dubbed “Operation No to Abuse of Civil Servants Rebate Scheme” conducted by ZACC working together with the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA).
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/zacc-to-impound-2-000-illegally-imported-vehicles/">The Herald</a> before her appointment as Zimbabwe’s Prosecutor-General, former ZACC chairperson <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Loice_Matanda-Moyo">Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo</a> said:
<blockquote>
Working jointly with ZIMRA, ZACC through its investigations department has also engaged in “Operation No to Abuse of Civil Servants Rebate Scheme”.
The operation anticipates conviction-based forfeiture of about 2 000 vehicles which were acquired through the abuse of the civil servants’ rebate scheme.
</blockquote>
In 2019, the Government introduced the civil servants motor vehicle rebate scheme.
Under the scheme, civil servants who had served in the civil service for 10 years and above were allowed to import motor vehicles up to a specific value for each employment grade without paying import duty.
The scheme is governed by Statutory Instrument 52 of 2019 of Customs and Exercise [General] [Amendment] Regulations.
Last year, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/06/21/zacc-arrests-car-dealers-using-civil-servants-to-import-vehicles-duty-free/">reports suggested that some car dealers in Harare and other areas were importing vehicles using fake civil service rebate letters</a>.
Some civil servants were allegedly importing vehicles for others and charging a fee of up to US$1 500.
The vehicles remained registered in the civil servant’s name but driven by someone else.

ZACC Says To Impound 2 000 Vehicles Illegally Imported By Civil Servants

Harare businesswoman Hezel Mafu and Emmanuel Nyagano allegedly used fake civil servants rebate exemption letters to import vehicles, leading to their arrest.
The accused purchased a Toyota Sienta 2013 model from Japan, forged a civil servants rebate letter in the name of Dumiso Sibanda from the Home Affairs ministry without his consent, and used it to import the vehicle.
They misled Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) officials into believing that Mafu was a civil servant and collected the car without paying duty. The vehicle was registered in Sibanda’s name and was used as a pirate taxi in the city.
They repeated the same process in September 2022, importing another vehicle, a Toyota Sentra 2014 model from Japan using a forged rebate letter in the name of Erick Chemhere employed by the Defence Ministry. The accused avoided paying import duty, and they again made it a pirate taxi. The State alleges that ZIMRA lost US$13,500 in potential import duty revenue, although some of the motor vehicles were recovered.
ZIMRA in conjunction with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) recently launched an <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/06/21/zacc-arrests-car-dealers-using-civil-servants-to-import-vehicles-duty-free/">operation initiated to prevent the misuse of tax rebates granted to civil servants</a> by the government to import vehicles duty-free. About 36 vehicles have been seized while many car dealers in Harare and other areas were arrested for importing vehicles using fake civil service rebate letters.

Harare Businesswoman Arrested For Using Fake Rebate Letters To Import Cars

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Anti-Corruption_Commission/">Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC)</a> has arrested many car dealers in Harare and other areas for importing vehicles using fake civil service rebate letters. ZACC in conjunction with the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Revenue_Authority/">Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA)</a> have seized 36 vehicles in an operation initiated to prevent the misuse of tax rebates granted to civil servants by the government to import vehicles duty-free.
The corruption begins with civil servants importing vehicles for others and charging a fee of up to US$1,500, while the vehicles remain registered in the civil servant’s name but driven by someone else, according to The Herald.
ZACC and ZIMRA are conducting joint investigations with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). 
The abuse of government rebates has defrauded the State of revenue and resulted in duty-free cars being sold, while some of the saved duty ends up with civil servants. The rebate conditions require that the state employee have a valid driver’s license, serve for at least ten years, and import only one car every five years depending on their grade.
According to the National Anti-Corruption Commission Strategy sub-committee 2 report presented last week, investigations into the misuse of Government rebates are still in progress and huge successes are being registered.
In May 2022, Zimbabwe’s Finance and Economic Development Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube, set a range of US$3,500 to US$10,000 for deputy directors and below, while MPs were allowed to import two duty-free vehicles during their five-year term, with a maximum value of US$60,000 for the second vehicle. The regulations apply to all members of the National Assembly, Senators, the Speaker of the National Assembly, and the President of the Senate and their deputies. The imported vehicles must be less than 10 years old and can be procured using a loan or personal resources. The rebate does not apply to senior civil servants issued with a condition of service motor vehicle or under disciplinary proceedings.
Despite the government’s duty-free vehicle policy for civil servants, most of them are unable to purchase vehicles due to their meagre salaries. Consequently, some individuals have viewed the policy as an opportunity to generate additional income for themselves.
