- Namibia is reviewing the VAT zero-rating on sugar consumption, which could lead to a change in its tax treatment; the zero-rating was originally meant to provide consumer relief.
- The review is driven partly by health concerns about sugar consumption and is part of broader tax policy reforms to raise domestic revenue and reduce borrowing.
- The government is considering VAT zero-rating on imports of agricultural inputs and equipment to lower production costs in the agriculture sector.
- Namibia is also reviewing export levy levels under its value-based natural resources regime, with stakeholder consultations ongoing.
- Authorities say N$45 million has been recovered through coordinated action against illicit financial flows and suspicious tax-related transactions.
