Abstract: The major purpose of this research was to analyse the effects of fiscalisation on value added tax (VAT) collections in Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA). The research project seeks to find out if fiscalisation is contributing positively towards revenue collection, has it lead to improved client compliance, what areas needs improvement and possible solutions and to draw lessons from other countries on what measures they took to enhance tax compliance after fiscalisation. The study conclusively ascertained that fiscalisation has had a positive effect on VAT collections widening the tax base and having more revenue to the fiscus. The research found that fiscalisation has increased taxpayer's compliance in relation to VAT administration by ZIMRA.
