Zimbabwe’s tax authority intensified enforcement against transfer pricing abuse and fund externalization, deploying artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to identify high-risk companies. Zimra said the systems enabled large-scale detection across sectors including mining, manufacturing, and telecoms, triggering forensic audits, reassessments, and penalties. Officials estimated illicit flows cost over US$1.5 billion annually and said tougher enforcement supported revenue mobilization, foreign-currency stability, and fiscal sustainability.
