Impacto da zona de comércio livre da SADC nas receitas do Estado. O caso de Moçambique

Abstract

Today, Free Trade Areas are becoming a worldwide evidence, despite the persistence of many questions about the advantages and disadvantages of such a global alignment. This paper analyzes the impact of the SADC Free Trade Area (FTA) on State and Customs Revenues in particular, highlighting the issue of loss of tax revenue that results from the elimination of tariff barriers that leads to a reduction in customs revenue associated with goods before taxed and now available on the ZCL. The work analyzes the potential advantages of a free trade agreement such as the SADC Trade Protocol (PC-SADC). Finally, some of Mozambique's competitive advantages and disadvantages in the SADC Regional Economic Integration are highlighted, as well as the challenges facing the country's competitive disadvantages.
