<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe taxable income determined in this way is subject to progressive taxation (bar\u00e8me progressif) after the so-called 'family' abatement of 500,000 Fcfa for dependents (since 2004, the family quotient system is no longer applied).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proportional tax paid on account of individual category income is deducted from the progressive tax calculated by applying the following rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Income brackets Tax rate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- 0 to 2,000,000 FCFA 10%<\/li>
- 2,000,001 to 3,000,000 FCFA 15%<\/li>
- 3,000,001 to 5,000,000 FCFA 25%<\/li>
- Over 5,000,001 FCFA 35%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The tax is paid in two stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
monthly advance payments, by the 15th of the following month, by withholding tax on each category of income;
calculation of the tax due at the beginning of the following year by applying the bracketed rates to the total income. The balance (minus advance payments) must be paid by 15 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The declaration must be submitted on a paper form at the local offices by 31 March for the previous year's income and must be accompanied by an indication of family loads and of the elements considered by the CGI as indices of wealth (main and secondary residences also abroad, domestic servants, cars, boats, tourist planes, swimming pools, tourist trips, water consumption, electricity, telephone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
