Recent reforms introduced by the Ivorian authorities have led to significant changes especially for tax calendar.

These changes concern, particularly, Business Tax returns which have been amended by the ordinance No 2015-797 of December 18th 2015.

From 2016, deadline to submit Business Tax returns depends on the relevant tax office and the type of activities of each companies.

So, the New Calendar for payment of Business Tax is fixed as follows :

Companies reporting to "DGE^[1]" or "CME^[2]"

Companies reporting to "Services d'Assiette d'Impôts"

Nota :
1- Since January 2016, new companies whose turnover is less than XOF 1 billion are exempted from Business Tax for the two first years following their creations (Art 1st, 2016 Tax Annex) ;
2- In case of increase of the rental value basis, an additional tax return have to be made. An extra payment must be done on this basis (Art. 284 of Ivorian Tax Code) ;
3- Tax on Rental Value for professional premises both assigned to taxable and exempted activities obeys to a particular mechanism (Note No 0441/MPMB/DGI/DLCD of February 20th 2015).
