This initiative builds civic agency for taxpayers to engage the Government and advocate for lower taxes and efficient use of tax revenue by the Government. The\u00a0<\/span>initiative focuses on four things, a) build the taxpayers platform in Zimbabwe and plant and mobilize Zimbabweans to demand justice and value for their money, b) campaign for lower taxes as the Government has a tendency introduce new or increase taxes, c) advocate for limited and accountable government as the Government often lavishly spends on valueless consumptive spending like motor vehicles for Government chefs whilst public service suffer, and d) promote taxpayer rights as the Zimbabwean Constitution promotes citizen agency.<\/p>\n

We work to expose excessive and wasteful government spending. We want more transparency and accountability in how taxpayers\u2019 money is spent and our politicians spending money as if they\u2019d worked as hard as the taxpayers who earned it. We believe that new taxes should only be introduced when there are equal decreases in other taxes.<\/p>\n

We advocate and promote democratic accountability. Those who are responsible for public services, levy taxes, or spend\/allocate public money, should ultimately be accountable. We work with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) and the Constitution to ensure accountability without the usual political protections<\/p>\n

We deploy Section 264 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe which ensures local tax-payers use their agency to ask local authorities to account, consult and allocate public money for public good.<\/p>\n

Mathematically, Zimbabwe is rich using a resource per capita matrix. The theory is that if the Government of Zimbabwe limits its excessive expenditure, increases accountability, lower taxes and frees private sector space- Zimbabwe will become an upper middle-income country in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n
