Information from the Directorate of Taxation in Cameroon
Normally, everyone of the age of majority is required to have a taxpayer registration number. This is because each of us makes various transactions (IRPP payment, real estate transaction, VAT payment on invoice, etc.). The MINFI through the DGI is dematerializing all the procedures, and within 3 years, all individuals will be obliged to register.
This will do that when you go to a SANTA LUCIA supermarket (for example) to make a purchase, instead of giving your name, you give your tax registration number, so the VAT that will be charged will be recorded at your name, and at the end of the year the results will be compiled in the national accounts.
With this measure, no one can be authorized to make a purchase without a taxpayer number.
The taxpayer number is a 14-digit number that begins with a letter and ends with a letter. The first 5 retrace the information on the person and their date of birth (or creation).
➖ For an individual born in June 2019, the first 5 numbers are P0619 (Natural person born in June 2019), the other 9 digits are indicative
➖For a company created in March 2016, the first 5 numbers are M0316 (Legal person created in March 2016), the other 9 representing the index items.
