Facts of the Case
Background
Delta Corporation, a beverage manufacturer, challenged ZIMRA's additional tax assessments requiring payment of taxes in foreign currency for income received in foreign currency. The assessments covered VAT periods March 2019-October 2021 and income tax years 2019-2020. Delta argued it could pay all taxes in local currency as Zimbabwe dollar was sole legal tender.
