How ZIMRA PAYE Tax is Calculated

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) uses a progressive tax system where higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The tax is calculated using the formula:

Tax = (Gross Income × Tax Rate) - Fixed Deduction

AIDS Levy = Tax × 3%

The AIDS Levy is an additional 3% charged on the calculated PAYE tax amount.
