Togo’s gambling industry is shifting into a fully digital setup this year, with operators now using certified electronic invoicing to handle the new tax rules.
The change kicked in on January 1, when betting and lottery companies were told to take 5% off any win of €760 (CFA500,000) or more before handing the rest to the player. Even payout above that line must now be logged electronically, creating a record the government can track and operators can’t alter.
The move is meant to bring order to the system, protect both sides of the transaction, and make sure the state gets the taxes it is owed.
A nationwide reform
Togo’s shift to digital invoicing isn’t limited to gambling, it now applies to every business in the country, pushing companies to record their activity electronically if they want to stay in line with tax rules.
The move is meant to tighten reporting, cut out guesswork, and make audits easier, creating a system where the state can finally see what is happening across different sectors.
The wider 2026 Finance Law brings its own set of changes. It introduces new taxes for some industries, eases the burden for others, and adds incentives for firms that hire people with disabilities.
Property‑related duties are being updated, and certain agricultural exports now fall under revised tax rules, marking a broader attempt to reshape how revenue is collected.
This follows a 14.4% jump to CFA2,740.5bn (€4.17bn) for the 2026 budget, showing just how much the country is looking to modernize how its economy is managed and bring more business activity into the formal system.
