ZRA tax registration & your TPIN — sorted properly.
Spout registers your business with the Zambia Revenue Authority: your TPIN, the right tax types (Income Tax, VAT, PAYE, Turnover Tax), and your Tax Clearance Certificate when you need one for tenders, contracts or the bank. Your written quote confirms the scope and fee.
Who this is for
Newly registered companies that need a TPIN to trade, businesses registering for VAT or PAYE for the first time, and anyone who has been asked for a Tax Clearance Certificate and does not have their ZRA affairs in order. We also help individuals and directors who need a personal TPIN.
What’s included
- TPIN registration with ZRA for your company (and directors where needed).
- Registration for the tax types that apply to you — Income Tax, VAT, PAYE or Turnover Tax.
- Set-up on the ZRA online portal so you can file and pay.
- Your Tax Clearance Certificate obtained when your filings are in order.
- Plain-English guidance on what you must file and when.
What is a TPIN, and do you need one?
A TPIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) is your business’s identity with ZRA. You need it to invoice, to register for VAT, to pay staff through PAYE, to open a business bank account and to bid for work. If you are searching for how to register a TPIN — or you have lost or forgotten yours — we sort it out for you quickly.
Why the Tax Clearance Certificate matters
A Tax Clearance Certificate proves you are compliant with ZRA. You will be asked for it to win government tenders, sign larger contracts and satisfy banks and partners. We get your filings current and obtain the certificate, rather than leaving you to discover a problem at the worst moment.
Common questions
Do I need to register for VAT? Only above the turnover threshold, or by choice — we advise before registering so you do not take on filing duties you do not need.
