Key Provisions: Zimbabwe Mining Fiscal Framework

  • Lithium Export Regulations: Zimbabwe prohibits raw lithium ore exports to stimulate local beneficiation (spodumene concentrates and lithium sulfate). A 5% royalty applies to concentrates.
  • 50/50 Royalty Payment Framework: For major minerals such as gold, lithium, and platinum, royalties are partly surrendered in physical mineral reserves to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).
  • MMCZ Role: Under the MMCZ Act, all mineral exports except gold (which must be delivered exclusively to Fidelity Gold Refinery) pass through or require authorization from the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe, with an applicable 0.875% marketing commission.
  • Non-Resident Withholding Tax (WHT): Remittances to foreign parent companies or foreign engineering subcontractors are liable to 15% non-resident tax withheld at source under the Income Tax Act.
