I turned my garage into a hair salon. ZIMRA officers are now demanding the 15% Commercial Presumptive Tax on 'rental income.' Since I own the house and don't charge myself rent, how is this calculated, and can they garnish my personal bank account?
I run a small business from my home in Kuwadzana. ZIMRA is aggressively targeting residential suburbs in 2026. They say that because I run a commercial enterprise, the space has a 'deemed rental value' and I owe them tax on it. I need a tax consultant to explain if this applies to sole traders operating from their primary residence, and how to legally appeal a ZIMRA 'estimated assessment' before they freeze my accounts.
