I booked a hunt in Zim in January, and the outfitter indicated that there would be a 4% government tax on all trophy fees, and a 2% government tax on the daily rate. Apparently this is something new since I last hunted Zim back in 2003. Any thoughts. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | ||

BH63 Those taxes have been in place for sometime and are the norm. Mark MARK H.

The last time I hunted in Zim this was in place then as well. It is pretty standard. I do wonder though, how can Zim charge a levy on a government charge... The trophy fees are paid to the government, well unless it's private land...and even then the fact that it wa a government charge was how Zim buffalo TF's went from the mid $2k level to $5k seemingly overnight a couple years back. I know TIA, but still, double taxation has always been a sticky widget in the world. | |||

Thanks for the information. It has been almost 13 years since I last hunted Zim (I had a liver transplant in 2008 and it took quite a lot of starch out of my sails).  BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

In 2003, I hunted on communal land, and as I understood it, the outfitter bought the animals from the tribe each season (say $800.00 for each buffalo) and then sold the animals for whatever he could get. I paid $2000.00 for my Zim buff back then. Any tags not filled were lost, with the animals going back to the tribe. I thought that a pretty neat system that directly benefit the people whose land we hunted on. Things certainly do change. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

Those are nothing new. But the only geese the Zimbabwe government likes to kill are those laying golden eggs. The 15% VAT on tourism services is typical and does make for an expensive destination. | |||
