Cameroon: Annual Tax Declaration Reminder for Civil Servants and Private Sector Workers
Civil servants and workers of the private sector are all concerned with filing the Annual Tax Declaration for Individuals (ATDI) for their salary Income (or earnings) and or other passive income they earn besides Salary according to section 74bis of the General Tax Code of Cameroon.
However, civil servants and workers of the private sector have taxes on their salary income curtailed or withheld at source when their employers serve their salaries, these taxes curtailed at source are remitted to taxation by their employers.
As such, civil servants and workers of the private sector can consult their annual payslips issued by the employer to know the amount of taxes paid.
The Minister of Finance through a Press Release signed on the 21st of May 2024, informed civil servants and workers of the private sector to request for their annual Payslips from their employers and use these Payslips in filing their ATDI.
👉For civil servants, the annual payslip is available on the E-bulletin app of the Ministry of Finance, website,
👉For workers of the private sector, employers of the private sector would issue an Annual Payslip to their workers.
With the Annual Payslip, civil servants and workers of the private sector proceed to file their ATDI.
When filing, enter the Annual Gross Income amount, enter the annual tax amount curtailed on your salary, and fill the space for taxes withheld at source by the amount curtailed from your salary by the employer. Your filing will not generate any new tax for you to pay again on your salary given that you have filed that it was withheld at source (and have enclosed or attached an annual payslip as proof)…
NB
If you are a civil servant or worker of the private sector and besides your salary income earning, you have real estate ( for example a house given out for rent), you earn revenue from farming, you do part-time teaching and earn money from it …….etc and taxes were not paid on these other income sources, you continue scrolling down your ATDI form and filing the amounts earned. The system would generate taxes which you would then pay for these other incomes.
NB
To file ATDI, u must have a taxpayer’s number(NIU).
(See the ATDI filing manual, it provides information on how to create an NIU or verify whether you had one but don’t know about it, and equally how to change your password if you have an NIU but have forgotten the password.
