Botswana Expands VAT to Include Digital and Remote Services Under 2025 Amendment Act

  • Botswana’s Value Added Tax (Amendment) Act of 2025 expands VAT to include taxation of digital services, imposing new requirements on non-resident providers and reverse charge rules for VAT-registered businesses.
  • Non-resident digital service providers must register and account for VAT if annual supplies exceed BWP 500,000, with quarterly returns required; electronic marketplaces may also be liable for VAT under certain conditions.
  • The effective date of the new VAT rules has not been announced, and further implementation details will be provided in the future.
