The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) advises all Taxpayers that migration of taxpayer master data to the New Tax and Revenue Management System (TaRMS) is now functional and open to the public for registration only. Taxpayers that have not yet registered in the new system should do so without further delay.
