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.
