Taxpayer registration is a key requirement under Zimbabwean tax laws, ensuring that all individuals and entities conducting business are properly accounted for within the national tax system. The introduction of the ZIMRA TaRMS Self-Service Portal (SSP) has modernised this process by providing a convenient, digital platform for taxpayers to register, update information, submit documents, and manage their obligations. The system enhances transparency, improves service delivery, and supports efficient compliance monitoring.
To register as a taxpayer you are required to visit ZIMRA’s online TaRMS Self-Service Portal (SSP) https://mytaxselfservice.zimra.co.zw/auth/login?returnUrl=%2F
A Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is issued upon successful registration.
