Reminders and Due Dates
As part of Zimra’s ongoing efforts to keep clients informed about due dates for the submission of various returns and payment of taxes, a tax payment calendar has been posted on the website.
The website also alerts the public on notices like rummage sale days, vacancies and more through a notices section also accessible from the website’s main menu. All the “Did You Know” articles can also be found on that section as well as an archive of previously published articles.
Forms
All the relevant forms have been uploaded onto the website for the convenience of the transacting public. These forms cover various areas like registration, taxes, VAT, Customs and Excise.
Zimra has also made strides in ensuring that its website does not just inform but also encourages interaction through various functionalities:

The right pane of the site has an input field labelled “Tariff Search” which gives surfers the ability to search for the latest rates of duty on various items.
Registered Clearing Agents or Registered Declarants search
You can also use the Zimra website to search through a database of registered clearing agents.
Zimra Exchange Rates

Asycuda World Link

Feedback Mechanism
Surfers can also send in their comments or enquiries using the feedback mechanism on the website. This feature is located under the “Contacts” menu and the questions asked by clients feed into the Most Frequently Asked Questions.
An online opinion poll is also meant to capture clients’ rating of the Authority’s service delivery in terms of responsiveness to queries, attitude of Zimra officers, and Zimra officers’ knowledge of their job, among others.
