- Botswana has extended VAT to cover cross-border digital services supplied by non-resident businesses to customers in Botswana.
- The rules apply to a wide range of electronically supplied services, including streaming, software, online advertising, and access to digital platforms.
- Non-resident suppliers may need to register for VAT, charge and remit Botswana VAT, issue compliant invoices, and file VAT returns.
- Digital businesses should review their services, registration obligations, and billing systems to ensure compliance with the new VAT requirements.
