Burkina Faso has implemented a new Value Added Tax (VAT) on digital services as part of its 2025 Finance Act, effective January 1, 2025. The policy targets both foreign and local e-commerce platforms and digital service providers, requiring them to collect and remit VAT on transactions. This aligns with a broader African trend to tax the expanding digital economy. Additional VAT changes include exemptions for local frozen meat and a reduced 10% rate for domestic air transport. Further guidelines are anticipated to clarify compliance for foreign firms.
