VAT in Niger: Key Facts

Niger applies a value-added tax known as Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA) at a standard rate of 19%. As a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU/UEMOA), Niger follows the regional tax harmonization framework. While most WAEMU members apply the standard 18% rate, Niger sets its TVA at 19%, which is within the permitted range under WAEMU guidelines. Certain goods and services are exempt, including basic food staples (millet, sorghum, rice, maize), medical and pharmaceutical products, educational services, agricultural inputs, and financial transactions. Exports, including uranium and oil, are zero-rated. The Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) administers TVA collection. Businesses with annual turnover exceeding XOF 50 million must register for TVA. Monthly returns must be filed by the 15th of the following month. Niger faces significant challenges in TVA collection due to a large informal economy, limited infrastructure, and security concerns in parts of the country. The government has been working with international partners to strengthen tax administration. Input TVA can be deducted against output TVA, with refund provisions for businesses in a net credit position.
