Schemes of retrenchment need prior approval from the Ministry of Labour.  Submit the retrenchment proposal to the Ministry of Labour and when approval is given use the Belina 'Retrenchment Calculator' utility to calculate the tax on the retrenchment amounts being paid to employees.

 

See this link for more information about how to download, and use, the Retrenchment Calculator.

 

Submit the results produced by the Retrenchment Calculator to ZIMRA for verification and approval. ZIMRA issue a tax directive for the retrenchment.  This procedure should be followed despite the fact that the retrenchment calculation is gazetted each year after the annual budget is announced.

 

Tax Concessions

Tax concessions apply to retrenchment amounts received. To check that the retrenchment tax parameters have been setup correctly go to the 'Setup', 'Tax', then 'Existing' menu options.  The setup of retrenchment is found on the default 'Tax Table' tab.
