ZIMRA has rolled out the TaRMS/FDMS integration, effective December 1, 2025, impacting VAT-registered operators, diplomatic missions, and development partners.
The VAT return submission functionality in Tarms has been upgraded for a better user experience, effective for VAT returns due January 10, 2026.
Under Invoice Management, the system has been designed to automatically input tax schedules, credit/debit notes, and invoice apportionment from December 1, 2025.
Taxpayers in VAT category A and C have been directed to claim valid fiscal tax invoices, debit notes, and credit notes issued up to November 30, 2025, by December 10, 2025.
Taxpayers with issues or special circumstances related to deadline challenges must notify the Commissioner General.
Tax Clearance Certificates will only be issued to taxpayers complying with fiscalisation and FDMS requirements.
The FDMS Self Service Portal is accessed through the TaRMS Self Service Portal.
This integration aims to enhance VAT administration, fast-track refund processing, and tighten compliance across the economy. If you’re experiencing challenges, ZIMRA advises taxpayers to reach out for assistance.
