No prizes for predicting this one because much like every year in recent memory the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has announced that its online portal will be undergoing maintenance. This comes as the usual rush to acquire Tax Clearance certificates (ITF263) peaks as businesses seek to get it out of the way and stay on the right side of regulations.

Let’s not kid ourselves: the portal never works as intended. We cannot view previous submissions and so cannot print our returns if we desire to.
On a good day one can submit a return through the portal but most times I have to email them to designated email addresses. ZIMRA has a lot of work to do if this portal is to be a viable platform for the growing number of tax payers.
