TAX experts, including Axis Solutions managing director Burayayi Mukudzavhu and CBZ Bank head of tax Robbie Maremero, are some of the speakers who will headline The Financial Gazette’s 6th Annual Tax Review Breakfast Meeting, set for February 20, 2026, at the Rainbow Towers Hotel.
Other speakers include tax partner at Baker Tilly Simbarashe Hamudi and director of technical excellence at the Pan African Federation of Accountants Owen Mavengere.
This comes as Zimbabwe intensifies efforts to position tax compliance as a foundation for sustainable economic growth.
Besides tax professionals, the high-level forum will also bring together corporate leaders, government officials and policymakers to examine how improved compliance can strengthen revenue mobilisation, build investor confidence, and support inclusive development.
It is also expected to attract representatives from key institutions, including the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce, the Zimbabwe Small-Scale Miners Association, the Construction Industry Federation of Zimbabwe, ZimTrade, and the Institute for Sustainability Africa, among others.
Organisers say the breadth of representation will ensure a balanced and informed discussion on tax policy, enforcement challenges, and emerging investment opportunities.
Corporate finance executives and policy advisers attending the forum are expected to gain valuable insights into managing complex tax obligations while using compliance as a tool to optimise returns.
For investors, the discussions will provide clarity on evolving fiscal frameworks and highlight opportunities where compliant and well-structured enterprises can thrive.
Ultimately, the breakfast meeting reinforces the growing consensus that tax compliance is no longer just an administrative concern, but a strategic driver of investment, growth, and inclusive economic development.
The event to be held under the theme: Tax Compliance as a Catalyst: Fuelling Inclusive Growth, comes at a critical juncture in Zimbabwe’s economic reform agenda, where fiscal consolidation must be carefully balanced with growth-enhancing policies.
At the event, authorities are expected to outline the government’s 2026 fiscal priorities, including revenue targets, regulatory reforms, and incentive structures designed to expand formal sector participation and improve the business climate.
As Zimbabwe navigates a changing economic and regulatory environment, tax compliance is increasingly being framed not merely as a statutory requirement, but as a strategic lever for national development and corporate resilience.
Zimbabwe is working on stimulating growth while maintaining fiscal discipline. Sectors such as tourism, mining, and agribusiness, which are heavily reliant on foreign currency inflows, stand to benefit from predictable tax policies and improved regulatory clarity.
