The digitalisation of tax filing by the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) has transformed how businesses and organisations in Cameroon meet their tax obligations. Yet many NGOs, schools and SMEs have not adapted.
This guide covers the essentials every organisation must know to avoid penalties, interest charges, and compliance issues.
🔑 Key Tax Obligations for Organisations in Cameroon
- Monthly Declarations: VAT (if applicable) and withholding taxes must be declared and paid by the 15th of each month
- Annual Declarations: Annual tax returns including income tax and the "Contributions des Patentes"
- Employer Declarations: Monthly declaration of salaries and social security contributions to CNPS
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming NGO/educational status exempts you from ALL tax duties
- Using wrong CNPS rates for employer/employee contributions
- Excluding certain allowances from payroll calculations
- Missing declaration deadlines leading to heavy penalties
