Zimra to launch e-taxation
THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) will next week launch an electronic direct banking system which would enable clients to pay taxes through the banks.

It is a cost-effective system, as clients will no longer have to physically visit Zimra offices for tax payments and also encourages customers to pay before deadlines.
