PORT — GENTIL, Gabon – On July 15, 2026, the Ogooué-Maritime Provincial Tax Office in Gabon launched a comprehensive campaign aimed at sensitizing, registering, and taxing economic operators across the region. This initiative, set to conclude on August 29, 2026, is led by the Provincial Tax Director, Francis Agnouga, and is designed to broaden the tax base and reinforce fiscal responsibility.
The campaign involves teams deployed across various arrondissements to identify economic activities, guide taxpayers towards compliance, and ensure equitable contributions to state revenue. Agnouga emphasized that the campaign aligns with the tax administration’s core missions and does not indicate a decline in public revenue.
The campaign seeks to identify formal enterprises, understand the nature of their activities, and verify the appropriateness of their tax regimes relative to their actual business levels. It aims to create a reliable map of economic operators in Port-Gentil, encompassing traders, artisans, freelancers, service providers, SMEs, large corporations, and anyone with a revenue-generating activity. Prior to any coercive measures, the tax administration is prioritizing sensitization and voluntary regularization of taxpayers.
Officials will inform operators of their fiscal obligations, declaration procedures, and payment conditions for taxes due.
The campaign is a significant step towards modernizing tax administration and capturing additional revenue for public services. Its success hinges on the cooperation and compliance of economic operators.
As the campaign unfolds, its impact on Gabon’s economy and fiscal stability could be substantial.
