Background
The applicant, JK Motors (Private) Limited, challenged the validity of two tax assessments issued by ZIMRA. After lodging objections that were rejected by the Commissioner, the applicant approached the High Court seeking a declaratory order that the assessments were invalid and should be set aside, rather than pursuing the statutory appeal process.
