The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has announced key updates regarding the integration of the Tax and Revenue Management System (TaRMS) with the Fiscalisation Data Management System (FDMS).
The authority has set December 1, 2025, as the cutoff date for valid fiscal tax invoices, debit notes, and credit notes. Taxpayers with valid claims issued before November 30, 2025 (Category A and C VAT taxpayers), have until December 10, 2025, to claim. Those unable to comply must notify the Commissioner General by December 31, 2025, outlining special circumstances.

Book NowThe TaRMS upgrade, effective January 10, 2026, enables automatic input tax scheduling, credit/debit note management, and invoice apportionment, though some fields (e.g., imported goods, adjustments) require manual entry on the VAT 7 return. Category B taxpayers should claim input tax via ZIMRA officials for November 2025 transactions. The 12-month claim period (3 years for diplomats) ensures claims are submitted on time to avoid forfeiting entitlements.
Tax Clearance Certificates will only be issued to compliant taxpayers, and the FDMS is accessible via the TaRMS Self-Service Portal. Taxpayers are urged taxpayers to comply to avoid penalties.
