Gambling operators can now streamline tax filing and improve compliance by participating in Zambia Revenue Authority\u2019s practical tax education sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zambia.- Zambia\u2019s gambling and betting companies<\/strong> are being encouraged to take part in tax education<\/strong> classes offered by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA)<\/strong> to strengthen understanding of tax compliance, return filing and payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ZRA\u2019s tax education initiative<\/strong> is an ongoing programme aimed at helping taxpayers and the general public better understand how to register for tax, file returns and make payments through official systems<\/strong>. \u201cThe Zambia Revenue Authority wishes to invite taxpayers and the general public to attend tax classes on Tax Registration, Return filing and Payments<\/strong>,\u201d said the ZRA. To participate, interested betting companies are invited to register<\/strong> using the forms provided on the ZRA website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2025, Zambia introduced a 10 per cent tax <\/strong>on all betting stakes, affecting all gambling operators. By attending ZRA tax education classes, operators can learn how to calculate<\/strong>, file and pay this tax correctly, using the official online systems and reducing the risk of penalties<\/strong> or compliance issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZRA boosts gambling compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For gambling and betting operators, attending these sessions also provides practical knowledge <\/strong>of Zambia\u2019s tax processes, particularly the electronic platforms<\/strong> used for filing and payments. The classes help companies navigate core tax obligations efficiently, supporting legal operations and reducing errors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the tax classes, ZRA runs broader tax education workshops<\/strong> and sensitisation activities across the country covering topics such as tax compliance, smart invoice systems<\/strong> and electronic payment procedures. These sessions are open to entrepreneurs, local businesses and other stakeholders, further reinforcing the Authority\u2019s commitment to fostering voluntary compliance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ZRA advises taxpayers and businesses to regularly check the registration page and complete the online form<\/strong> to secure a place in upcoming sessions. For the gambling sector, where turnover tax and company tax filings are part of regular compliance, engaging with ZRA\u2019s training opportunities<\/strong> can make the often complex process of understanding and filing returns more manageable, supporting both compliance and long-term business growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
