In response to requests by clients and their representatives, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority hereby advises our valued clients that Government has extended the period within which applications for tax amnesty may be accepted by three months from 31 March 2015 to 30 June 2015. This means that ZIMRA will continue accepting applications for tax amnesty up to 30 June 2015.
The tax amnesty is still in respect of any non-compliance, which occurred during the period beginning 1st February 2009 to 30th September 2014 (the amnesty period). Taxpayers will still be required to submit applications for tax amnesty on Form No. TAO1 (obtainable from the ZIMRA website www.zimra.co.zw). The completed applications forms should be submitted to any ZIMRA office.
Issues already covered in completed or on-going audits or investigations and other enforcement activities by ZIMRA are still not covered by this amnesty. The payment period still ends on 31 December 2015 except for cases covered by the legislation. The 5% discount is still applicable for early payment of amounts due.
The Commissioner General would like to urge all our valued clients to take full advantage of this opportunity to regularise their tax affairs voluntarily as there will be no further extension.
Paying taxes and duties on time and in full builds and dignifies Zimbabwe!
Commissioner General Public Notice No: 10 of 2015
