The Act provides for a series of steps to be followed in arriving at the taxpayer's taxable income. The starting point is to determine the taxpayer's gross income [as defined in s 8 (1)]

Gross Income means - the total amount of income, in cash or otherwise, received by or accrued to or in favour of such person from a source within or deemed to be within Zimbabwe during the year of assessment.

Receipts or accruals of a capital nature are generally excluded from gross income. However, certain amounts, irrespective of their nature, are specifically included in the definition of gross income under specific subparagraphs (a) to (s) in (s 8) regardless of whether they might be of a capital nature or not.

The next step to be taken is to arrive at income, which is the result of deducting all receipts and accruals that are exempt from tax under the Act from Gross Income in terms of (s 14) as read with the 3rd Schedule of the Income Tax Act.

Finally, taxable income; is arrived at by deducting all the amounts allowed to be deducted in terms of (s 15) as read with the 4th and the 6th Schedule of the Income Tax Act from income;.

(Taxable capital gains are calculated and taxed separate from other income - See Section I, below)

The steps to be followed in determining taxable income are thus:

Gross Income
Minus Exempt Income
= Income
Minus Deductions
= Taxable Income/Assessed Loss

2. Department Responsible for Administration

4.2 If source, define:

4.2.1 Actual source

The Act itself contains no definition of the term ‘source’. To determine the source of an amount the Courts apply a two pronged test namely
(a) the originating cause of the amount
(b) the geographic cause of the amount.

The originating cause can either be the business of the taxpayer or employment of capital, assets or funds or both. The source is located in the country where these activities are carried out or where the capital is employed.

It is generally accepted that the profits from business operations have their source where such operations are conducted.

4.2.2 Deemed source

Deemed source is that source which is not in Zimbabwe but is considered to be in Zimbabwe as specified under section 12 of the Income tax act [Chapter 23:06.]

Examples:

(a) Amounts received or accrued under any contract made in Zimbabwe for the sale of goods regardless of the country of their origin or of delivery.
(b) Amounts received or accrued for services rendered by a person in the carrying on of a trade in Zimbabwe is taxable irrespective of whether the person rendering the services is resident in Zimbabwe or where the amount is paid.
(c) Amounts received or accrued for services rendered as an employee outside Zimbabwe by a person ordinarily resident in Zimbabwe during a period of temporary absence from Zimbabwe.
(d) Amounts received for services rendered to the state, irrespective of where the services were rendered
(e) Annuities from a foreign source if at time of acquiring the annuitant was ordinarily resident in Zimbabwe.

It is generally accepted that the profits from business operations have their source where such operations are conducted.

4.3 If residence, define:

4.3.1 Define resident

4.3.2 Exclusions from the definition of resident:

4.3.3 Ceasing of residency provided for in the Act

5. Time Tax is Levied

Tax is levied on the earlier of the date of receipt or accrual. The term ‘accrued’ has been interpreted by the Courts as the date on which a person becomes entitled to an amount, i.e when the amount becomes due and payable.

6. Included in Tax Base

Income from a Zimbabwean source or deemed source.

7. Year of Assessment

Means a period of 12 months beginning on the 1st January in any year and includes any period within such a year of assessment. For periods before 1st April 1997 a year of assessment is a period of twelve months beginning on the 1st April in any year.
