Togo tax profile

Data year: 2026

Tax system
Worldwide Residents with a domicile fiscal in Togo are taxed on worldwide income (CGI Arts. 2–3). Employment, pensions, rents and similar income use the progressive impôt sur le revenu barème (Art. 74), with annual family-charge reductions (Arts. 72–73) not reflected in the effective top rate. Business and professional profits (revenus d'affaires) are taxed at a flat 30% on the net base (Art. 78). Companies pay impôt sur les sociétés at 27% (Art. 113), subject to minimum forfaitaire de perception rules on turnover in many cases. Portfolio income is covered by proportional retenues under Arts. 79–80. Standard taxe sur la valeur ajoutée is 18%. WAEMU/UEMOA member; XOF is pegged to the euro.
