ITF263 Tax Clearance for Tenders & Contracts

ITF263 is ZIMRA’s official tax clearance certificate confirming that your business is registered, filing returns, and has no outstanding tax debts (or has an approved payment plan). Most government and parastatal tenders require a valid ITF263 before your bid is considered.

Tax clearance is typically valid for 12 months from the date of issue. Renew before expiry — an expired certificate will disqualify your tender submission or delay contract award.

If your ZIMRA account is up to date, clearance can be issued within a few working days. Where returns are outstanding or penalties apply, we first resolve compliance, then lodge your application. Urgent tender deadlines can be prioritised with our fast-track service.

You must be compliant or on an approved ZIMRA payment plan before clearance is granted. We review your filing history, prepare missing returns, and negotiate payment arrangements where needed so your application succeeds.

Many large corporates, NGOs, and development partners request ITF263 or equivalent proof of tax compliance in their vendor registration. We help you meet both public and private procurement requirements.

Yes. We offer tender-ready packages that combine ITF263 with PRAZ registration, VAT setup, and complete bid document preparation. Ask about our Tender Packages service when you enquire.
