FAQ

  • Is a tax clearance certificate the same as registration

    No, a tax clearance certificate is issued to a registered taxpayer that is tax compliant or up to date with their tax obligations.

     

  • How do I get a Tax Clearance Certificate?

    The Tax Clearance Certificate is auto-generated by the ZIMRA TaRMS system to compliant taxpayers only and thereafter, sent through email addresses that are captured in the ZIMRA database. Compliant taxpayers are no longer required to apply for a tax clearance.

  • Why do banks need company tax clearances on opening of a bank account?

    It is an obligation for every income generating business to be registered with ZIMRA and have a tax clearance as an indication that their tax affairs are up to date. Banks are obliged to ask their clients for any documents they need including the Tax Clearance certificate.

  • What do I do when someone withholds 30% withholding tax but does not issue me with a Certificate?

    Advise the person that they are supposed to issue you with a withholding tax certificate to enable you to have a proof of the tax withheld. If the person is not sure ask them to consult ZIMRA for clarification.

  • When is the Withholding Tax on tenders and Director’ fees due?

    On or before the 10th of the month following that in which the payment was made.
