Tax residency

Easy to leave

What makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.

Taxation is based mainly on the source of income rather than residence, so once you stop meeting the 183‑day / ordinarily resident conditions, ongoing Zimbabwe tax exposure generally only applies to Zimbabwe‑source income, which makes ceasing tax residency relatively straightforward.
