Good to know

• In Zimbabwe:US dollars and ZiG each have a column. A document in another currency counts in the base currency's column.
• In Zambia:VAT is returned in kwacha, each document at its value on the books.
• A filed return's documents stay as they are. Anything dated in its month that comes later goes into the next return.
• A return is the whole company's, so it opens only for people who see every branch.
