Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant's parent company underwent a reorganization in 2004, transferring assets and liabilities to the appellant. Following an audit for tax years 2009-2017, ZIMRA issued a tax bill of USD 29,898,042.95 in February 2018. The appellant objected, but the objections were dismissed in July 2018, leading to this appeal. The appeal was ultimately struck off the roll due to the appellant citing the Commissioner General instead of the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority as the respondent.
