Their collective support has been invaluable in bringing TaRMS to life.

The launch of TaRMS represents more than just a technological upgrade; it embodies ZIMRA’s commitment to embracing a future where digitalization is essential for economic progress.

Deputy Minister of Finance, Honourable D.

Mnangagwa, remarked, “This moment is a declaration that Zimbabwe is ready to embrace the future — a future where digitalization is not a luxury, but a necessity. ”Previously, the tax administration faced numerous challenges, including slow compliance processes and fragmented systems.

With the implementation of TaRMS, ZIMRA is poised to offer a more citizen-centric approach, simplifying tax compliance for all Zimbabweans.

To date, over 1. 2 million Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) have been issued through the system, broadening the tax net to include all sectors of the economy—formal, informal, urban, and rural.

Looking ahead, ZIMRA aims for every economically active Zimbabwean to possess a TIN by 2028, in line with the broader goals of Vision 2030 for a digital economy.

Digitalization is not merely an IT solution; it is a national imperative that will enhance voluntary compliance, improve the ease of doing business, and reinforce public trust in state institutions.

TaRMS first went live on 12 October 2023.

The commissioning of TaRMS marks a significant milestone in tax administration—one that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and the needs of citizens.
