APA-Abidjan (Côte d’ivoire) – According to the government, the aim of this measure is to optimise tax collection.
An ordinance amending article 97 of the tax procedure book, as well as the related ratification bill, was adopted on Wednesday 22 May 2024, at the end of a Council of Ministers held at the presidential palace.
This ordinance institutes “direct debit as the sole method of payment of taxes” to which taxpayers connected to a real taxation system are subject, with a view to remedying the dysfunctions caused by other methods of payment.
The operation is carried out by companies via the “e-impôt” portal, according to the ordinance, which notes that this measure specifically concerns all taxes payable by taxpayers under the simplified taxation system and those under the normal taxation system.
