Understanding Export Zero-Rating
Export Zero-Rating Basics:
- Zero-Rated Supply: Exports are charged 0% VAT but the exporter can claim input VAT credits
- Eligible Exports: Goods and services supplied to non-residents and consumed outside Zambia
- Documentation Required: Proper export documentation must be maintained for compliance
- Input VAT Recovery: Exporters can recover VAT paid on inputs used for export production
Key Requirements:
- Goods must physically leave Zambia
- Services consumed outside Zambia
- Proper export documentation
- Foreign exchange compliance
- Valid export permits (if required)
- Commercial invoices with export marks
- Shipping/transport documentation
- Certificate of origin (if applicable)
Important Note:
While exports are zero-rated, proper documentation is essential. Failure to maintain adequate records may result in disallowance of zero-rating and input VAT claims.
