Togo: Soon, taxes could be paid via mobile

(Togo First) - Since 2016, major companies have been able to declare their taxes online, on the website of the Revenue Office (OTR). In January 2017, it was the turn of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and 400 of those were actually recently trained to e-declaration, last March to be exact.

This move, let’s emphasize, aligns first with the OTR’s will to make it simpler for Togolese firms to declare and pay their taxes, and secondly with government’s desire to modernize public administration and improve business climate.

Commenting on the e-declaration reform, the Business Climate Cell (CCA) said it would significantly shorten delay for tax declaration.

With e-declaration, Togo’s tax office should become more efficient and provide better services to taxpayers.

In the same framework, it should soon be possible to pay taxes via mobile, revealed Adoyi Esso-Wavana Ahmed, tax commissioner in an interview with Togo First.
