How Much Does ZIMRA Fiscalisation Cost in Zimbabwe?

The two cost models

Fiscalisation costs depend entirely on which route you take. The hardware route means buying a fiscal device from an approved supplier, plus installation, annual maintenance and eventual replacement. The software route replaces all of that with a subscription to an FDMS-interfaced system.

Hardware fiscal device costs

Budget for the device itself, configuration and interfacing, a maintenance agreement, consumables, and downtime when the device develops faults – it is sealed, so you cannot repair it yourself. Multiply by the number of tills you operate.

Software / virtual fiscalisation costs

With virtual fiscalisation there is no device to buy. You pay for the software subscription, and each additional till is just another login. Updates, including changes ZIMRA makes to FDMS, arrive as app updates rather than technician visits.

The hidden cost: non-compliance

Penalties, blocked tax clearance and lost corporate customers are the most expensive option of all. Whichever route you choose, choose one.
