As at the beginning of each year, the Directorate General of Taxes (Dgi) is holding its 2019 review and outlook for 2020 workshop in the political capital, Yamoussoukro. It is around the evocative theme "Analysis of the results of the year 2019 and prospects for the year 2020". In terms of analysis of the results, the Director General of Taxes, Ouattara Sié Abou, said that "The overall revenue target assigned to the DGI for the year 2019 was 2410.2 billion FCFA, in gross basis... During this period, the total amount of revenue recorded amounts to 2306.6 billion CFA francs. The Dgi thus has a negative deviation of 103.6 billion compared to the forecasts, for a recovery rate of 96%. However, it should be noted that the DGI recorded an overall increase of 157.2 billion CFA francs in its revenues compared to the achievements of 2018, with a growth rate of 7.3%," he said before noting some difficulties encountered that contributed to the non-achievement of the overall objective. For the year 2020, the expected gross revenue projections are CFAF 2716.2 billion; they are up by 409 billion CFA francs. For this major challenge, Ouattara Sié Abou said he expected more commitment from the tax services and regional directorates, before identifying two priorities "I would also like to mention the case of tax arrears whose stocks still burden our accounts, so that the Receivers truly undertake to pursue by all means, their recovery. Among our priorities, the fight against fraud must be part of these few points mentioned" Moussa Sanogo, Minister to the Prime Minister in charge of the Budget and State Portfolio, immediately welcomed the launch of the new integrated tax management systems in Côte d'Ivoire SIGECI; now extended to large and medium-sized companies. Analyzing the differences in revenue observed, Moussa Sanogo, noted that "The deviations that could be noted in relation to the various objectives that have been set, already in previous years we have differences between 20 and 30 billion CFA francs ... This year, a hundred billion has been raised. It highlights important challenges. " he said before taking the tax bosses to project themselves in the coming years and to take appropriate measures to meet the future challenges that arise "Contrary to what everyone may think, the evolution of the objectives will go crescendo. This is the very meaning of the evolution of our economy. In 2012, we had a gross domestic product that was of the order of 13,000 billion CFA francs. In 2022, this gross domestic product will be 33,000 billion CFA francs. So, we are going to have an economy that is going to show extremely significant financial needs. We had a budget of just under $3.2 trillion in 2012; in 2022 it is 9,200 billion that Côte d'Ivoire will have to display as a budget if it wants to maintain its same pace of growth. It will put extremely strong pressure..." he warned before adding that "overall by 2022, it will be about 5,700 billion that will have to be mobilized at the level of domestic resources to finance the state budget. " he warned.
