The government started revising a controversial tax policy after business backlash over ZIMRA’s plan to make tax clearance certificates valid for just one month. The proposal, introduced under Public Notice 69 of 2025, was criticized for undermining formalization and investment. Treasury officials say a phased approach with longer validity periods is now under consideration. The amendment highlights tensions between revenue enforcement and economic policy goals.
