Read this before you rely on a figure

Public Notice 25 of 2026 gave people and businesses with undeclared income or outstanding tax obligations a voluntary-disclosure opportunity that expired on 30 June 2026.

ZIMRA has expressly included people who conduct business using crypto assets in its tax-compliance disclosure program. The notice does not classify a private individual's bitcoin investment gain as either capital gain or ordinary income, so it does not establish a disposal rule for personal investment holdings.

Regime: No crypto-specific rule
Tax authority: Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA)
Tax year: 2025
