Commissioner General of Botswana Unified Revenue Services (BURS), Ms. Jeanette Makgolo led her team in a virtual meeting which shared with ZRA, the BURS experience on the Coordinated Border Management (CBM) and other trade facilitation reforms which have been implemented in Botswana, particularly, on their side of the Kazungula One-Stop-Border Post (OSBP).
The ZRA team was led by Commissioner General, Dingani Banda during the Monday, 17th October, 2022.
The two administrations have agreed to collaborate and harmonise process and procedures at Kazungula OSBP in order to improve processing efficiency; reduce the cost of doing business; maximise the return-on-investment for Kazungula OSBP which was implemented to ramp-up trade flows between the two countries; and to ultimately promote the corridor as the most preferred trade route.
Following the pronouncement of the implementation of the CBM approach in the 2023 National Budget Address, ZRA expects to start the preparatory modalities during fourth quarter 2022. These modalities will be informed by, among others, lessons that will be drawn from the BURS experiences on implementing the CBM. Kwilanzi Newspaper Zambia (KNZ) Kwacha Magazine Zambia (KMZ)
