The Visual and Performing Arts Programme (VAPA) in the Faculty of Humanities will join the World Community to commemorate the World Theatre Day 2018 on Tuesday March 27, 2018. This will be the first time VAPA and UB commemorate this day.

Mrs Ame Rebecca Masuku will present a paper titled - The emergence of a special tax zone in Botswana’s legal framework: a critique of the Botswana SPEDU Region under BEPS Action 5

Abstract

Special Tax Zones (STZs) are areas within a jurisdiction where tax regulations are more beneficial that the ones generally applicable in the surrounding country. STZs are subsets or a special type of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). This is because the preferential treatment given in SEZs is wider and encompasses more than just tax benefits.
