How Billions of FCFA Were Lost in the Archives of the General Directorate of Taxes

On October 12, 2026, Jean Koné, the Director General of Taxes and Domains, disclosed during a parliamentary hearing that the lack of a centralized register hampers the traceability of tax amnesties, exemptions, and debt write-offs since 2014. The management of these dossiers is cumbersome, especially for those over five years old, and a sum of 100 billion FCFA allocated to the company Adax remains difficult to track. The DGID promises to compile and share available documents, starting with those related to large companies.
