津巴布韦政府同意给予服装制造商退税

 

Zimbabwe govt grants rebate to clothing manufacturers

The Government of Zimbabwe has granted a one-year rebate to 52 clothing manufacturers which will allow them to import textile materials duty-free for use in garment making.

The Ministry of Finance has granted a one-year reprieve ending December, 2015, as part of the government’s efforts to support domestic apparel makers, who are facing stiff competition from low-priced imported clothing.

According to statutory Instrument 32 of 2015 cited as Customs and Excise (Clothing manufacturer) rebate Regulations, the rebate duty shall be granted on material referred to in the second schedule imported or taken out of bond by a manufacturer for use in the manufacture of clothing.

Materials eligible for the rebate include sewing thread, denim, fabrics, yarns of different colours, etc.

At its peak, the textile and clothing industry employed more than 35,000 people, but the number has declined since to about 8,000 in recent times. To revive the industry, last year, the government launched cotton-to-clothing strategy.

津巴布韦政府同意给予服装制造商退税      

津巴布韦政府同意对52个服装制造商授予一年的退税，即将允许他们免税进口纺织原料，用于服装生产。

财政部批准了一年的退税到2015年12月底结束，这是政府努力支持国内服装制造商的一部分,他们面临低价进口服装的激烈竞争。

根据海关与消费税局(服装制造商)退税规定2015第32号法定文件，应准予涉及到二次进口或者制造商从保税仓库中提货用于制造衣服的给予出口退税。

可以获得退税的材料包括缝纫线、牛仔布、面料、不同颜色的纱线等等。

在高峰时期,纺织和服装行业雇佣了超过35000人,但最近数据已经下降到8000。为了振兴产业,去年政府推出棉花到服装的策略。
