Zimbabwe REV 1 — Application for New Registration Form

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority's (ZIMRA) Form REV 1, "Application for New Registration Form" — the form an individual, organisation, or group uses to register with ZIMRA for the first time and obtain a Business Partner (BP) number, selecting which revenue heads (tax types) it needs to register for. Opens Zimbabwe's Business Formation vertical (2/6) (GOV-4478, child of GOV-4476 "GovSchema Standard Research"), following GOV-4470's ITF 1 cycle which opened Zimbabwe as the registry's 87th jurisdiction under Taxes. This schema models the form's own pages 1-7 (Part I nature of applicant, Part II particulars of applicant, Part III revenue heads and special income tax categories, Part IV industry and sector details, Part V branch/shareholder/director details, Part VI bank details, Part VII particulars of representative, Part VIII tax consultant particulars, Part IX VAT registration information, Part X PAYE registration information, Part XI attachments, and Part XII declaration); the closing portion of page 7 and all of pages 8-18 are a purely informational ISIC-derived Industry Classification Table (industry sections A-U plus specific numeric activity/product codes) referenced by, but not itself part of, the applicant's own Part IV entries, and are excluded from `fields[]` on the same basis this registry excludes reference/lookup directories elsewhere (e.g. `zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return`'s regional tax office directory) — see this document's own VERIFICATION.md for the full scope record, including disclosed reasoning on the Part III revenue-heads tick grid (modelled as 38 independent boolean fields, since a business may register for more than one tax head at once) and why the Part IX/X sections were left ungated rather than conditionally required. This schema does not file the registration itself; the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Zimbabwe or the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority.

Candidate selection

GOV-4478 ("GovSchema Standard Research", child of GOV-4476), following GOV-4470's ITF 1 cycle which opened Zimbabwe as the registry's 87th jurisdiction under Taxes. This cycle authors Zimbabwe's Business Formation vertical (2/6) via ZIMRA's Form REV 1, "Application for New Registration Form" — the form used to register with ZIMRA for the first time and obtain a Business Partner (BP) number.

Reaching the live source

Independently re-fetched and re-hashed:

  • https://www.zimra.co.zw/downloads/9-domestic-taxes?download=378:form-rev-1-application-for-new-registration-form
  • HTTP 200, Content-Type: application/pdf, Content-Length: 479,772 bytes — byte-for-byte matching the delegating issue's own disclosed size.
  • sha256 f7a8a038e2b9227ef261f467ff7c7eb72e61eaef287c3996db0472afce8845dd.
  • No login, CAPTCHA, or WAF gate — a plain unauthenticated curl request with no session/cookie state reached it cleanly.
  • 18 physical pages. Document-control footer stamps DTF: 1 DOMESTIC TAXES ISSUE NO: 1 VERSION NO: 2 DATE OF ISSUE: 31/03/2020 on every page.

Extraction method

Extracted with pdfjs-dist (vendored at /tmp/node_modules/pdfjs-dist, legacy CommonJS build). getAnnotations() confirmed zero /Widget annotations across all 18 pages — a flat (non-AcroForm) specimen, the same print-and-fill pattern as this registry's zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return. getTextContent() read every text item's raw string and its transform x/y position, grouped into lines by rounded y-coordinate, across all 18 pages.

The applicant-facing form's own body text (Parts I-XII, pages 1-7) extracted cleanly and unambiguously through the text layer alone, except Part [III].A "Revenue Heads" on page 2 — a four-column, 38-item tick grid whose text items interleave across columns when grouped purely by y-coordinate (each visual row spans four separate item/label/tick cells, and the raw item-by-item extraction order does not match reading order). This section was independently re-verified by rendering page 2 (and page 3, for the Special Income Tax Categories continuation) to a PNG via pdfjs-dist + node-canvas at 2.5x scale and reading the rendered grid directly — glyphs rendered cleanly on this specimen (unlike the ITF1 specimen's font-loading limitation), so the image itself, not just gridlines, was legible. All 38 revenue-head labels and item numbers, and all 10 special-category labels, were transcribed directly off the rendered image, cross-checked against the raw text layer's own (out-of-order) tokens to confirm no label was dropped or duplicated. Pages 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were also rendered as a secondary check against the text-layer reconstruction of table/column structure (bounded-slot counts, tick-box layout, checkbox groupings).

Document structure

Pages 1-7 carry the applicant-facing form:

  • Page 1 — Part [I] Nature of Applicant; Part [II] Particulars of Applicant (items 1-10).
  • Page 2 — Part [II] continued (items 11-14); Part [III].A Revenue Heads (38-item tick grid); Part [III].B Special Income Tax Categories (items 1-4).
  • Page 3 — Part [III].B continued (items 5-10); Part [IV] Industry and Sector Details; Part [V].1 Branch/Division/Other Information; Part [V].2 Shareholder/Member/Partner counts; Part [V].3 Shareholder's Details for Private Companies (table header + start of rows).
  • Page 4 — Part [V].4 Details of Directors; Part [VI] Bank Details; Part [VII].1 Particulars of Representative (start).
  • Page 5 — Part [VII].1 continued; Part [VII].2 Spouse Bank Details; Part [VIII] Particulars of Tax Consultant/Tax Advisor; Part [IX] Information for VAT Registration (start).
  • Page 6 — Part [IX] continued; Part [X] Information for PAYE Registration; Part [XI] Attachments.
  • Page 7 (upper portion) — Part [XII] Declaration.

Page 7's lower portion (from "INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION TABLE" onward) and all of pages 8-18 are a purely informational, ISIC-derived lookup reference: 21 industry sections lettered A-U (page 7), followed by ~11 pages of specific numeric activity/product codes grouped under each industry (pages 8-18). This table is referenced by Part [IV]'s own "Industry Name"/"Principal Key Activity" entries (the form's own NOTES instruct the applicant to "Use the Industry Classification table at the end of the form") but is not itself applicant-supplied data, and is excluded from fields[] on the same basis this registry excludes reference/lookup directories elsewhere (e.g. zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return's regional tax office directory, zm/pacra/company-incorporation's analogous classification appendices).

Scope: office-only / computed fields excluded

  • The Industry Classification Table (page 7 lower portion through page 18) — excluded in its entirety as a third-party reference lookup, not applicant data (see Document structure, above). Two fields (industrySectionCode, principalActivityCode) capture the applicant's own transcription of the relevant code from this table, consistent with how other registry schemas model a lookup-derived code field without duplicating the lookup table itself.
  • No "for office use only" box or BP-number-issuance box appears on this form — unlike ITF1, REV 1 does not print any office-only annotation column or pre-issuance box; the entire applicant-facing portion (Parts I-XII) is applicant-supplied data (aside from Business Partner Number fields already assigned to a director/representative/tax consultant who is an existing taxpayer, which are included as ordinary optional string fields since they are applicant-supplied information about an existing registration, not this form's own office-assigned output).
  • No same-form computed/derived totals appear on this form — REV 1 is a registration/particulars form, not a return; it contains no arithmetic-combination lines to exclude under GSP-0013 §7.

Disclosed findings

  1. Part [III].A "Revenue Heads" is modelled as 38 independent boolean fields (plus 10 further booleans for Part [III].B "Special Income Tax Categories"), rather than a single enum, since the form's own instruction — "Tick against required revenue heads" (plural) — and its own four-column grid of 38 separately-boxed tick items make clear that a business may need to register for more than one tax head simultaneously (e.g. Income Tax and VAT and PAYE). This registry's spec (v0.3) has no array/multi-select field type (fieldType enum is string, number, integer, boolean, date, enum, file, object — GSP-0009 composite/repeating values remains an unaccepted proposal), so per-item booleans is the only structurally available representation, consistent with precedent elsewhere in this registry for large independently-tickable checklists (e.g. za/sars/corporate-income-tax-return-itr14-medium-large-business's 125 boolean fields).
  2. Part [I].2 "Type of Business" is modelled as a single-select enum, not booleans, despite being printed as 17 separately-boxed tick items (numbered 3-19, continuing the section's own item numbering from "1. Nature of Applicant"/"2. Type of Business"), because these 17 categories describe mutually exclusive entity types (a business cannot simultaneously be a "Private Company" and a "Trust"), unlike the Revenue Heads grid where multiple selections are the form's own explicit intent. This mirrors this registry's own zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return precedent of modelling a tick grid as enum when the underlying options are mutually exclusive (e.g. that schema's boardType).
  3. Part [IV] "Industry and Sector Details" row 1's own printed "CODE" table cell renders as a solid black rectangle in the rendered page-3 image, rather than as an ordinary blank writing box (row 2's "CODE" cell renders normally). This is disclosed rather than silently reconciled; industrySectionCode is modelled as an ordinary optional string field on the reasonable assumption that this is a rendering/print artifact in the source PDF rather than an intentional suppression of the field, but a future review of a re-issued edition of this form should re-check this cell.
  4. Part [V].3 "Shareholder's Details for Private Companies" and Part [V].4 "Details of Directors" are modelled with different cardinalities. The Shareholder's Details table prints 3 ruled rows (confirmed via the rendered page 3/4 image) and is modelled as 3 bounded numbered slots (shareholder1-shareholder3, 5 fields each), mirroring this registry's zm/pacra/company-incorporation bounded-slot precedent. Section 4 ("Details of Directors"), by contrast, prints only a single set of fields beneath the instruction "attach schedule of all directors and their details as below" — modelled here as a single record (the Managing Director), with the form's own instruction directing any additional directors to an attached schedule (see directorsIdentityAddressProofCopy in documents[]) rather than further form rows.
  5. Part [VI] "Bank Details" (3 slots, 8 fields each) and Part [VII].2 "Spouse Bank Details" (3 slots, 6 fields each) share the same 3-bank-column layout but differ in which fields the source prints — the company's own Bank Details table additionally prints "Mobile Bank/Wallet Provider" and "Cell Number for Mobile Bank/Wallet Account" columns that the Spouse Bank Details table (page 5) does not repeat. Modelled with two independent field sets (bank1..3* vs spouseBank1..3*) rather than a shared shape, matching what each table actually prints.
  6. Part [IX] "Information for VAT Registration" and Part [X] "Information for PAYE Registration" are conceptually tied to the valueAddedTax/payeTax revenue-head booleans in Part [III].A, but are deliberately left ungated (required: false, no requiredWhen) rather than conditionally required on those booleans. Two reasons: (a) this form carries no visible mandatory-field marker anywhere in the extracted text or rendered pages (no asterisks), consistent with this registry's own precedent for un-asterisked ZIMRA sources (zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return disclosed finding #7); and (b) several of these figures (e.g. zero motor vehicles, zero exempt turnover) are legitimately absent rather than merely unfilled, so a strict requiredWhen gate risks rejecting a genuinely complete, valid submission. Each field's own description notes the section's conceptual tie to its corresponding revenue head.
  7. Part [XI] "Attachments" is modelled as 11 conditional documents[] entries (plus the Part [XII] declaration attestation), gated using the source's own three-way "for whom required" split (Registered Company / Individual / Other Organizations): company-specific documents (Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, 2-directors' identity/address proof, CR14/CR6, the Public Officer's own identity documents) are gated requiredWhen typeOfBusiness in ["Private Company", "Public Company"]; nationalIdentityCopy is gated requiredWhen natureOfApplicant equals "Individual"; partnershipDeedCopy is gated requiredWhen typeOfBusiness equals "Partnership"; constitutionCopy is gated requiredWhen typeOfBusiness in [...] over the remaining non-company, non-individual categories; publicOfficerAppointmentLetter (printed under both the Registered Company and Other Organizations categories, but not Individual) is gated requiredWhen natureOfApplicant notEquals "Individual"; and currentBankStatementCopy / publicOfficerRepresentativeProofOfResidence, which print under all three categories, are modelled required: true unconditionally. This registry's condition schema (§ GSP spec v0.3) supports only a single field with one operator per condition (field/equals/notEquals/in/comparison — maxProperties: 2), so no compound (AND-of-two-fields) gate was available; each document's gate was chosen from the single most specific supporting field.
  8. nationalProvince is modelled type: string, not enum, since the form prints "National Province" as a plain blank with no list of Zimbabwe's own provinces visible anywhere on the form or in the extracted text — consistent with this registry's convention of not inventing an enum the source itself does not print.
  9. No field on this form carries a visible mandatory-field asterisk or equivalent marker. Per this registry's own precedent for un-asterisked sources, only the fields necessary to process a registration at all are modelled required: true: natureOfApplicant, typeOfBusiness, registeredName, dateOfIncorporationOrBirth, registrationNumber, physicalAddress, industryNameDescription, principalActivityDescription (the Part [IV] table's own column header names this information "REQUIRED"), declarantFullName, designation, and signatureDate. Every other field is required: false, gated requiredWhen only where the source's own single-field branching is unambiguous (otherBusinessTypeSpecify).
  10. The physical signature mark itself is not separately modelled as data — captured by the declarationAttestation document's own required: true, consistent with this registry's zw/zimra/itf1-employment-income-return and bo/sin/formulario-200-iva precedent for signature blocks; the accompanying designation/signatureDate fields are modelled as ordinary required fields since they are typed/written data distinct from the signature act.

Conformance

3 valid mock scenarios — valid-private-company-full-registration (a private company registering for Income Tax, VAT, and PAYE simultaneously, exercising the shareholder/director/bank bounded slots, VAT turnover/asset figures, and PAYE headcounts); valid-individual-sole-trader-registration (an individual sole trader registering for Presumptive Tax – Informal Trade only, exercising the representative/spouse-bank-details fields and the false/absent path of the VAT/PAYE sections); and valid-organisation-trust-registration (a Trust registering for Stamp Duty and the Pension Fund special category, exercising the tax-consultant particulars) — plus 11 mutation-control fixtures (one missing statically-required field from each of natureOfApplicant, typeOfBusiness, registeredName, dateOfIncorporationOrBirth, registrationNumber, physicalAddress, industryNameDescription, principalActivityDescription, declarantFullName, designation, signatureDate — one per required field) and one unknown-field-rejected fixture, committed under conformance/zw/zimra/rev1-application-for-new-registration/1.0.0/.

An ephemeral, from-scratch conformance checker (deriving required/requiredWhen rules directly from this schema's own fields[], discarded after use, not committed) ran all fixtures: all 3 valid scenarios at 0 errors, all 11 mutation controls each raising exactly 1 error, and the unknown-field fixture correctly rejected. Validated clean with node tools/validate.mjs and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs, individually and as part of the full 617-document registry run. registry-index.json regenerated via npm run build-index in tools/govschema-client/.
