TAS sur les taxes à venir : «Le gouvernement fouille les poches des Sénégalais…»
As part of the implementation of the Economic and Social Recovery Plan (PRES), the government will soon introduce a new tax on various products and services. The related bills have been adopted by the Council of Ministers. These measures are already provoking a reaction from the opposition.
For Thierno Alassane Sall, leader of the Republic of Values (Rv), "the government is searching the pockets of the Senegalese to pinch the tiniest coins they have." According to him, these taxes and fees are intended to "better fund their 'haram' political funds and their comfortable salaries."
Indeed, the current authorities aim to introduce, in particular, a 20% tax on the share of winnings going to gambling operators and a 20% levy on winnings paid to players.
A new 0.5% tax will also be applied to money transfers (capped at 2,000 CFA francs per transaction). This tax will apply to merchant payments.
Cash deposits with money transfer operators are exempt from this levy, as are cash withdrawals at transfer counters, when the amount withdrawn does not exceed 20,000 francs. Beyond this amount, a 0.5% levy, capped at 2,000 CFA francs, is applied to the withdrawal.
The authorities also plan to increase the tax rate on imported alcohol and alcoholic beverages from 50% to 65% and that of locally produced alcoholic beverages from 25% to 40%. At the same time, the tax rate on tobacco will be increased from 70% to 100%.
