Tax Clearance, ZIMRA Returns & Bookkeeping in Zimbabwe
Keep your ITF263 tax clearance valid, file every ZIMRA return on time and always know where your money is. Accounting and tax support for small and growing businesses in Zimbabwe.
Why your tax clearance matters
ZIMRA issues the ITF263 tax clearance certificate to businesses that are up to date with their returns and payments. Without a valid one, your clients can withhold 30% of certain payments they make to you under Section 80 of the Income Tax Act, and many tenders and corporate clients won't sign a contract with you.
Since ZIMRA moved to its TaRMS self-service portal, registration, returns and tax clearance all happen online. We know the system, fix outstanding returns and keep you compliant so your clearance stays valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ITF263 tax clearance certificate?
The ITF263 is ZIMRA's tax clearance certificate. ZIMRA issues it to businesses that are up to date with their tax obligations, including filing returns and paying the tax due. Many clients, tenders and government bodies ask for it before they pay you.
What happens if my business does not have a valid tax clearance?
Under Section 80 of the Income Tax Act, clients can withhold 30% of certain payments made to a supplier without a valid tax clearance. Keeping your ITF263 current protects your cash flow.
How do I get or renew a tax clearance?
Tax clearances are now handled on ZIMRA's TaRMS self-service portal. Your business must be registered, have a TIN and be up to date with returns and payments. We check your compliance, fix any outstanding returns and apply on your behalf.
Do I need to register for VAT?
ZIMRA requires VAT registration when your annual taxable turnover exceeds, or is likely to exceed, US$25,000 or the ZiG equivalent. We can check whether you need to register and handle the registration and monthly or bi-monthly returns.
Do you handle PAYE and payroll?
Yes. Employers must register for PAYE within 14 days of becoming an employer. We run payroll, calculate PAYE, prepare payslips and submit the returns on time.
Can you keep my books every month?
Yes. We offer monthly bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, management accounts and year-end financial statements, so your records are always ready for ZIMRA, banks and investors.
