The tax regime of a business determines the applicable taxation modalities and, consequently, the fiscal obligations it is subject to. In Côte d'Ivoire, there are four distinct regimes, necessitating thorough analysis to ensure compliance with tax requirements.

Sole Proprietor Regime (TEE):

This regime is intended for businesses whose annual turnover does not exceed 50,000,000 FCFA inclusive of VAT. These businesses are subject to the municipal entrepreneur tax if their turnover does not exceed 5,000,000 FCFA and to the state entrepreneur tax if their turnover ranges between 5,000,001 and 50,000,000 FCFA.

Microenterprise Regime:

The microenterprise regime is designed for taxpayers whose annual turnover inclusive of all taxes ranges between 50,000,001 and 200,000,000 FCFA. Concerned enterprises have the option to switch to the simplified actual tax regime before February 1st of each year, provided they achieve a turnover inclusive of all taxes of 100,000,000 FCFA.

Simplified Actual Tax Regime (RSI):

The simplified actual tax regime applies to taxpayers whose annual turnover inclusive of all taxes ranges between 200,000,001 and 500,000,000 FCFA.

Normal Actual Tax Regime (RN):

The normal actual tax regime applies to businesses with a turnover exceeding 500,000,001 FCFA

The choice of tax regime depends on several factors, including the type of activity, projected turnover, and often commercial constraints. This choice is binding, so it is crucial to carefully examine your options. It should be noted that it is generally easier to transition from the Sole Proprietor Regime (TEE) to the Normal Actual Tax Regime (RN) than vice versa.
