- Botswana will implement a Value Added Tax (VAT) on digital and remote services provided by non-resident businesses to local consumers starting September 1, 2025. This move aims to diversify Botswana’s fiscal base and align with global VAT trends. The VAT, governed by the Value Added Tax Act, 2001, applies to Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactions, including streaming services, digital content, online gaming, advertising, and cloud computing. Both resident and non-resident providers must comply if their services are consumed in Botswana.
