The Ministry of Finance has confirmed that it will introduce VAT at 18% on the sale of digital services by non-resident providers to local consumers from 1 July 2024.
Currently, foreign businesses providing digital services to consumers in the country do not have to charge VAT on their sales. However, to remove the unfair advantage this gives to non-resident companies over resident providers, the Senegalese government will introduce VAT at 18% on these types of transactions.
Non-resident providers will be required to register for VAT in Senegal through a local Fiscal Representative from their first sale, as there is no VAT registration threshold.
This new tax will apply to a range of electronic services including advertising, streaming games, music, apps, films, e-books, e-journals, software, and internet services.
