What is ITF263 tax clearance ?

Tax clearance is the process by which the tax authority (ZIMRA) verifies whether a business entity or individual is in good standing with regards to tax payment. A tax clearance certificate is issued as proof of this good standing.

Benefits of tax clearance?

Tax clearance is usually needed as a requirement for doing business with other companies. There are certain situations in which your business may need tax clearance and some benefits a tax clearance certificate may give your business:

To participate in government tenders (almost all governement tenders require a valid tax clearance as a condition).

Commercial tenders

To participate in public tenders (this is mostly because tax registered companies prefer to do business with other tax registered companies).
