Senegal's Direction Generale des Impots et des Domaines (DGID) announced in a communique dated Dakar, 29 September 2026 that taxpayers of the Centres des Moyennes Entreprises Dakar 1 and 2 (CME1, CME2) and the Centre des Professions reglementees (CPR) must use the SENTAX platform for all tax obligations (registration, online returns, online payment) from 1 October 2026, after which paper returns are no longer accepted; they are invited to register and activate accounts for the September 2026 due date. Extends the 1 September 2026 SENTAX requirement for DGE taxpayers.
What changed in detail
Senegal’s Direction Générale des Impôts et des Domaines (DGID) announced in a communiqué dated Dakar, 29 September 2026 that taxpayers of the Centres des Moyennes Entreprises Dakar 1 and 2 (CME1, CME2) and the Centre des Professions Réglementées (CPR) must use the SENTAX platform for all their tax obligations from 1 October 2026. SENTAX covers registration and updating of details, online returns and online payment.
From that date paper returns are no longer accepted. Taxpayers are invited to register and activate their accounts now so that they can meet the September 2026 due date.
This extends the 1 September 2026 SENTAX requirement already applying to taxpayers of the DGE.
What it means
Taxpayers in these three centres who have not yet activated a SENTAX account should do so before the next filing date, since a paper return will not be accepted. Because membership requests need DGID validation, leaving activation to the last day risks a missed deadline.
