You are done with declaring your taxes and it’s
now time for you to pay what is due to the government. The
next question that comes to mind
is how to actually make the payments. The
tax administration in Cameroon has put at the disposal of taxpayers
various tax payment options to settle your
taxes, levies and fines.
In a related post on tax
declaration, I
disclosed the two methods used in declaring taxes
Even though the taxpayer can pay cash at the tax
center where the
declaration is done, it is not the same online. Online
tax payment option is not yet available in Cameroon. However,
there are taxes like the real estate tax that can be paid using
mobile money (electronic money) services.
Tax payment options in Cameroon
-
Cash payment:
Cash payments are acceptable at
the tax center
where the taxpayer is registered on condition that it is less than
or equal to 100,000FCFA
-
By check: the
taxpayer can also pay by check in the case where the amount due as
tax is more than 200,000FCFA
-
By bank transfer:
there is no limited amount for bank
transfers. However, taxpayers of the “Large Enterprises”
category are obliged to use this tax
payment option to pay their taxes, levies
or fines.
-
By electronic money:
there are some taxes like the real estate
tax that can be paid using electronic money (Mobile money).
Checkout the
guidelines for the invoicing of bank
transfer charges for tax payments
For a business to use
any of these tax payment options in Cameroon, it is obliged:
-
to be a
registered business with a taxpayer’s number
-
to
be located at the zone under the jurisdiction of the tax center
where the
taxpayer does the declaration
-
to declare their
yearly or monthly turnover
-
to pay the
taxes, levies, duties or any withholding taxes
-
to
conserve the documents for future use for at least 10 years
-
and must be
willing to communicate with the authorities when the need arises
