Does ZIMRA charge for registration?

No. ZIMRA does not levy a registration fee. Our $60 covers preparing and lodging the REV forms correctly and following up until the BP number is issued.

Do I have to register for VAT immediately?

Only once your taxable turnover reaches the prescribed VAT threshold, or if you elect to register voluntarily. We assess your position as part of the service.

It is your unique ZIMRA taxpayer identifier. Banks, corporate clients, PRAZ and most procurement portals require it before onboarding you.

No. ZIMRA requires your Certificate of Incorporation and CR14 before the entity can be registered as a taxpayer.

ZIMRA tax registration cost in Zimbabwe

$60REV1/REV2 lodged, BP number obtained

Short answer

ZIMRA does not charge a fee to register a taxpayer. Amashad charges $60 to prepare and lodge your REV1/REV2 forms, obtain your Business Partner (BP) number and advise on whether VAT and PAYE registration is triggered for your business.

Every registered entity in Zimbabwe must register with the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority. Your Business Partner number is what banks, corporate clients and procurement portals ask for before they will transact with you, so it is usually the very next step after incorporation.

ZIMRA itself does not levy a registration fee. What you are paying for is correct classification, correctly completed REV forms and follow-up until the BP number is issued — the three things that cause most rejections.
