Zimbabwe Revenue Authority plans to launch a comprehensive digital tax collection system by 2026. The platform will target online businesses such as ridesharing services and temporary rental operators. Commissioner Misheck Govha announced this initiative as part of the authority's strategy to capture revenue from digital transactions. The system builds upon the recently implemented Tax and Revenue Management System.
The platform will enforce compliance among both local and international digital service providers operating within the country. Govha emphasized that all businesses generating income from Zimbabwe must register and pay taxes regardless of their geographic location. Sixteen major e-commerce companies already comply with current tax requirements and payment obligations. The authority plans to work with local financial institutions to monitor and track digital transactions effectively.
The new system promises accessible portals through convenient online services available worldwide. Officials warn that non-compliance will result in penalties for all business operators. The initiative aims to broaden the tax base and enhance government revenue collection. Zimra intends to leave no digital transaction uncaptured within its jurisdiction.
