Clothing sector calls for an all-inclusive rebate scheme

Zimbabwe Clothing Manufacturers Association (ZCMA) chairman Mr Jeremy Youmans said when CMR was implemented the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) imposed punitive conditions, which made it difficult for small players which make up the majority in the sector to participate and enjoy the benefits of the rebate scheme. He further said the proposed increase of Customs Duty on Cotton Fabric from 10 percent to 30 percent plus $2,50 per kilogramme (kg), with effect from 1 January 2018 was likely to increase the cost of manufacturing a garment locally by over 50 percent.
