A Sanitary Surprise

Last month, one of our clients, hit with an unexpected fee when he opened the doors of his business’ new location in Boanberi - the Hygiene and Sanitation Tax levied by councils in Cameroon!

Worried, he sent me a message including the notice from the council. This is something he wasn’t expecting, since he has always been paying his taxes regulary.

Do not be surprised when such happens to you. It’s a tax that exists and is found in the General Tax Code for Cameroon.

While keeping facilities spic-and-span is important, this tax is one regulation even clean owners may miss. Rates vary for food shops and industrial buildings.

Failure to pay this tax can result in a hefty fine, so be sure your biz is fully briefed. Check:

Check applicable sanitation tax rates
Review penalty for violation
An unsanitary surprise is no way to run a business. Stay informed on regulations to avoid any cleaning up at tax time. For more on Cameroon's Hygiene and Sanitation Tax, see the link in the comment section.
