Senegal has 20 tax agreements in force, as reported in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire, including the multilateral Regulation 08/2008/COM adopting the rules for the avoidance of double taxation within the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the rule for assistance in tax matters (the UEMOA) concluded with seven treaty partners,1 and the multilateral Supplementary Act A/SA, 5/12/18 adopting community rules for the elimination of double taxation with respect to taxes on income, capital and inheritance and the prevention of tax evasion and avoidance within the ECOWAS Member States (the ECOWAS Supplementary Act) concluded with fourteen treaty partners. Twelve of those agreements, including the ECOWAS Supplementary Act, comply with the minimum standard.
Senegal signed the MLI in 2017 and deposited its instrument of ratification on 10 May 2022, listing its non-compliant bilateral agreements concluded with other members of the Inclusive Framework. The MLI entered into force for Senegal on 1 September 2022. The agreements modified by the MLI come into compliance with the minimum standard once the provisions of the MLI take effect.
Senegal is implementing the minimum standard through the inclusion of the preamble statement and the PPT combined with the LOB.2
