Pastors approach Zimra over taxation of churches

The Zimbabwe Christian Ministers Association, Bulawayo Province coordinator has approached Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) officials seeking clarity on the taxation criteria used to define churches viewed as operating business entities.

ZIMRA officials said only employees of churches will be subjected to pay tax as pay as you earn while those operating as businesses by selling paraphernalia or all other businesses are subjected to vat. Taxation will exclude tithes, offerings and donations.
