This policy brief examines the critical issue of property tax identification using the case of Senegal. Despite its significant potential as a revenue source, Senegal, like many African countries, face substantial hurdles in consistently identifying and registering all properties, a key factor in expanding the tax base.
In response to this challenge, the Senegalese government has introduced a series of reforms centered around property identification and registration. This policy brief provides a detailed overview of these programs, highlighting their accomplishments to date as well as the ongoing challenges. Furthermore, it offers recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of Senegal’s tax administration efforts. These suggestions are designed to not only improve current initiatives but also ensure their long-term sustainability and success.
