Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant challenged the lawfulness of garnishee orders imposed by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) on its bank accounts for alleged tax debts from 2009 and 2010 financial years. The applicant contended that no valid tax assessments were issued before the garnishee orders were imposed, and that ZIMRA had conducted a subsequent audit that reduced the tax liability but failed to issue amended assessments based on the new findings.
