Facts of the Case

Background

National Foods Limited appealed against tax assessments issued by Zimbabwe Revenue Authority on 4 March 2022, raising a point in limine that the assessments were invalid as Zimra had become functus officio after issuing September 2021 assessments that became final when no determination was made on objections within the prescribed period.
