About this statute

Section 30 is amended so hedging losses can only be deducted from hedging income, and mining losses cannot be carried forward for more than ten subsequent charge years. The principal Act is amended by inserting a new section after section 33B. A Zambian individual may deduct qualifying mortgage interest from income for the charge year, but only if the loan was used for the property within a reasonable period and the deduction is capped. This provision changes a monetary reference in subsection (2) from five hundred thousand kwacha to one million kwacha. This provision amends section 44 by replacing "K25,000" with "one hundred thousand kwacha" in clause (iii) of the proviso to paragraph (h).
