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.
