*Businesses In Harare Challenge Licence Fee Hike* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?uy The business community in Harare has expressed unhappiness over the shop licences fee hike by the Harare City Council. A number of small to medium enterprise businesspersons have signed a petition against the increase. Part of the petition reads: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > As the business community of Harare guided by the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15), we feel obliged to be consulted on issues of city budgets. > We are guided by Section 86 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, which gives us the right to have access to information with regards to our operations. > Currently, we are experiencing deflation as per the Minister of Finance and Economic Development’s economic outlook for 2022. > The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe auction rate has remained the same for the last three months. One businesswoman operating hair salons in the capital told H-Metro that her licence fee had gone up from US$400 to US$640. She said the “unjustified charges” may force small businesses to close shop. Another shop owner said: > It’s an unjustified increase. They want to force all licence holders into vending where corruption is rampant; this is not good at all. A significant number of shops in Harare’s Central Business District are reportedly operating without licences and some city officials are allegedly taking bribes not to shut them down. | H-Metro _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
