Tax

In Côte d’Ivoire, the preparation of finance laws traditionally includes a consultation between the private sector and the tax administration. In this sense, there have been recent developments in the Finance Law 2022, which formalised the state budget for 2022. A tax annex was developed to support the economy and employment, provide a more balanced distribution of the tax burden, and strengthen the means of the state through improved tax mobilisation, governance and accountability. Thanks to the tax exemptions granted, more foreign investors may be able to invest in companies in strategic sectors and infrastructure projects with high growth potential, thus contributing to the modernisation of the economy.
