Facts of the Case
Background
Central African Road Services (Pvt) Limited, a transport company, received revised income tax assessments for 2009-2012 totaling US$490,042.54. After their objection was dismissed and appeal to the Fiscal Appeals Court was pending, ZIMRA issued garnishee orders and froze their bank accounts, debiting $85,180. The company sought interim relief to stop further garnishment and recover already debited amounts.
