The change

Togo's Ministère des Finances et du Budget and the Office Togolais des Recettes (OTR) officially launched e-TPU, a new online platform for declaring and paying the Taxe Professionnelle Unique (the synthetic-regime levy for micro-enterprises, artisans and traders that substitutes for VAT/turnover tax), on 17 September 2026 at the Hôtel 2 Février in Lomé. The platform allows online declaration, automatic tax calculation and electronic payment (including via mobile money) for taxpayers under the TPU regime.

What changed in detail

Togo’s Ministère des Finances et du Budget and the Office Togolais des Recettes (OTR) officially launched e-TPU, a new online platform for declaring and paying the Taxe Professionnelle Unique — the synthetic-regime levy for micro-enterprises, artisans and traders that substitutes for VAT/turnover tax — on 17 September 2026 at the Hôtel 2 Février in Lomé. The platform allows online declaration, automatic tax calculation and electronic payment, including via mobile money, for taxpayers under the TPU regime.

What it means

For a taxpayer segment defined by being small and often informal, removing the need to visit a tax center in person is the actual change — the declaration and payment mechanics under TPU are not altered, only the channel. TPU-regime taxpayers should register on the e-TPU portal ahead of their next filing rather than waiting for the old in-person process to stop being available.
