<\/div>

The Director General of Taxes, Abou Si\u00e9 Ouattara, presented, on April 17, 2026, the balance sheet of the activities of the General Tax Directorate (DGI) for the first quarter. The tax services mobilized 2.02 billion USD, against a target of 2.22 billion USD, resulting in a negative deviation of 196.67 million USD compared to budget forecasts. The overall achievement rate of revenue targets thus stands at 91.1%.<\/p>\n

During the same period in 2025, the DGI had collected 1.85 billion USD, against a target of 2.13 billion USD. Year-on-year, revenues therefore increased by 176.67 million USD, representing a growth of 9.7%.<\/p>\n

The General Tax Directorate explains the deviation observed in the first quarter by the delay in implementing the land tax reforms, provided for in the 2024 tax appendix and rescheduled until 2026. According to the administration, this delay did not allow for the generation and distribution of tax notices to taxpayers before the first legal deadline set for March 15. As a result, some of the expected land revenues could not be collected during the quarter.<\/p>\n

The DGI also mentions operational constraints. Abou Si\u00e9 Ouattara cited technical difficulties, including occasional unavailability of the power grid and instability of the tax administration’s computer system. He specified that these disruptions affected the conduct of collection operations and contributed to the deviation between revenues collected and the targets set in the budget law.<\/p>\n
