The business community seems to be taking seriously the ZIMRA client education initiatives, if numbers which attended the Mutare Breakfast meeting are anything to go by. The breakfast meeting was convened by the ZIMRA management team in Mutare to explain contents of the 2019 National budget and how it impacts on business operations. The meeting was attended by players in the Mutare business community, Small and Medium Enterprises representatives, and a number of associations in the freight and forwarding industry.

As part of its stakeholder relationship-building programme, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) commemorated the International Customs Day in Victoria Falls with attendees coming from various players in the freight forwarding industry, security services, local government including the Victoria Falls Mayor and the District Administrator and a delegation from the Zambia Revenue Authority. The theme for this year’s event was “SMART borders for seamless Trade, Travel and Transport.”

Players from the tourism sector took some time to meet with ZIMRA Region 2 to discuss challenges being faced in the industry and how to improve the modalities of doing business in the sector.

On 31 January 2019, ZIMRA Region 3 held a Breakfast meeting to discuss highlights of the 2019 budget announced by the minister of Finance on 22 November 2018. The meeting was held in line with the CG’s thrust of building partnerships with stakeholders.

ZIMRA, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, is now ready to significantly transform tax administration with the introduction of the Tax and Revenue Management System (TaRMS). TaRMS is scheduled to go live on 12 October 2023. The new tax solution, TaRMS, promises to revolutionize the way taxes are managed and collected in Zimbabwe.

This state-of-the-art system will streamline processes, enhance accuracy, and provide taxpayers with a user-friendly platform for seamless interaction with ZIMRA. Taxpayers can expect TaRMS to simplify registration, enhance online services, provide real-time tracking of tax obligations, and automate compliance checks.

The temporary suspension of new taxpayer registrations and master data updates from 9 to 11 October 2023 will pave the way for existing taxpayers to receive their new Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) and seamlessly integrate into the TaRMS system. ZIMRA is committed to providing comprehensive guidance and support to ensure a smooth transition to TaRMS.

As the go-live date of 12 October 2023 approaches, ZIMRA invites all taxpayers to familiarize themselves with TaRMS and prepare for the change it brings. Under TaRMS, ZIMRA aims to create a modernized tax system that meets the needs of taxpayers and efficiently supports the nation's revenue collection efforts.

ZIMRA will continue to provide update and guidance, as we embark on this transformative journey toward a more streamlined and efficient tax ecosystem.
