The Director General of Taxes, Ouattara Sié Abou announced that the 2022 tax annex, in force since January 4, consists of new provisions aimed at the structural transformation of the Ivorian economy. These provisions are part of the fight against poverty and youth unemployment, as desired by the government.

The measures of the 2022 tax annex are backed by the National Development Plan (PND) 2021-2025, and are part of the government's development vision and its ambitions for this year and for those to come. At the social level, the objective is to consolidate the reduction of the poverty rate, in particular through the employment policy and the doubling of GDP per capita by 2030. The achievement of these objectives is based on several assumptions, including that of a greater mobilization of tax revenue with a view to gradually improving the rate of tax pressure (17%) while ensuring a more balanced distribution of the tax burden.
