Questions people ask
What is the property transfer tax rate in Zambia?
8% on land (including buildings), shares and intellectual property. 10% on a mining right for a mining licence and on a mineral processing licence; 8% on an exploration licence.
Which value is it charged on?
On the "realised value": for land, whichever is higher of the market value and the price the buyer and seller declare. Declaring a low price does not lower the tax if the market value is higher.

The person transferring the property (the seller), through ZRA, before the transfer can be registered.
