This episode looks at the concept of double taxation in Zambia, which is among the top five tobacco leaf growing countries in Africa. While taxation in general, is typically focused on revenue mobilisation, in Zambia the taxation of goods like tobacco is often instituted to also effect some kind of behavioural change as the harmful health impacts of smoking place an undue burden on the health system.

Our guests for this episode are Rodgers Kidiya, Research and Advocacy Officer at Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA), and Isaac Mwaipopo the Executive Director at The Centre for Trade Policy and Development (CTPD), hosted by Bezawit Mekonnen.
