Zimbabwe has collected over ZiG220 billion in taxes and other state revenue, putting its ZiG280 billion annual goal within reach. Treasury reached that figure in the first nine months of 2026, leaving less than ZiG60 billion to collect before the year closes.
VAT brought in the most cash, with taxes on personal earnings next in line. Company profits and excise charges also made a major contribution to the total.
The latest State of the Economy Report links the figures to efforts to raise more money from local sources. Business activity has also helped bring cash into state accounts.
And the Finance Ministry is upbeat about reaching its target. Officials believe higher collections can help pay for public services and projects without relying as much on foreign loans, grants, or other credit.
There is a budget angle here as well. More cash from domestic taxes could help the state cover its bills and keep its spending gap under control.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion is preparing its 2027 National Budget. The plan will set out where public money goes next and what the state wants to fund.
For Treasury, the remaining gap is the key figure. Whether the annual goal is met will depend on how much revenue comes in during the final stretch.
