Frequently Asked Questions

A tax clearance certificate is a document that is issued by the Commissioner General of the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) to a person liable to pay tax under any of the Acts administered by ZIMRA. The certificate is issued upon request to a person whose tax affairs are up-to-date or has made satisfactory tax compliance arrangements with ZIMRA.

Tax clearance does not necessarily offer a direct benefit. It is usually needed as a requirement for doing business with other companies. There are certain situations in which your business may need tax clearance and some benefits a tax clearance certificate may give your business:

  • To participate in government tenders (almost all governement tenders require a valid tax clearance as a condition).
  • To participate in public tenders (this is mostly because tax registered companies prefer to do business with other tax registered companies).
  • To prove that you are tax compliant (a tax clearance certificate is proof that you are paying taxes or are putting your tax issues in order).
  • To avoid the 10% withholding fee (tax registered companies are required by law to withhold 10% from any company that does not have a valid tax clearance. This is levied only on order amounts above $250 during any tax year)

Tax clearance is available for anyone who is liable pay any form of tax to ZIMRA. This includes both individuals and companies.

  • Individuals or companies that have paid or submitted tax returns.
  • Newly registered companies that want to trade with tax clearance requiring businesses but have not yet paid tax to ZIMRA.

A tax clearance is not necessary to start trading. However, you can not open a bank account without a tax clearance. Also most companies will not conduct business with a company that is not tax compliant ( i.e. without a tax clearance).
