R-SN-1 — Family situation unknown
"The family quotient (number of parts) is essential to compute IRPP. This skill cannot compute tax without marital status and number of dependent children. Please confirm before proceeding."R-SN-1
R-SN-2 — Income above the unresolved top band
"Taxable income per part exceeds 13,500,000 FCFA. The top IRPP rate is unresolved in research (40% per CGI Art. 174 vs 43% per PwC). Escalate to a Senegalese Expert-Comptable to confirm the rate before computing."R-SN-2
R-SN-3 — Non-resident / dual-resident
"Non-resident and dual-resident taxation follow different rules (and withholding regimes). Out of scope. Escalate to a Senegalese Expert-Comptable."R-SN-3
R-SN-4 — Companies / partnerships
"This skill covers individuals (employees, sole traders, CGU). Companies pay corporate tax (Impôt sur les Sociétés) and file separate returns. Out of scope."R-SN-4
R-SN-5 — Penalties / enforcement
"Senegalese late-filing/late-payment penalty rates were not obtainable from an authoritative source in this research (see Section 9). Do not quote penalty figures. Escalate to a Senegalese Expert-Comptable who can read CGI Livre IV."R-SN-5

Computation order steps
1. Start from gross annual remuneration (salary + taxable benefits-in-kind, Section 11). 2. Deduct mandatory employee social contributions (IPRES employee share — Section 6). 3. Apply the 30% lump-sum deduction (abattement), capped at 900,000 FCFA (Section 5.2). 4. Result = annual net taxable income. 5. Divide by the number of parts (Section 4) → income per part. 6. Apply the barème (Section 1) to income per part → tax per part. 7. Multiply tax per part by number of parts → IRPP before family-relief cap. 8. Apply any family-relief cap [RESEARCH GAP] and confirm result is not negative. 9. Add TRIMF (Section 6) separately — it is a distinct minimum tax, not part of the barème.
Abattement rules
30% of employment income (representing professional expenses), capped at 900,000 FCFA. Applied after deducting employee IPRES/CSS contributions. A separate 30% standard deduction applies to gross rental income.CGI; DGID flyer (via https://africapaierh.com/juridique/cotisations-sociales-et-impots-au-senegal/); https://afrotools.com/fr/blog/guide-irpp-senegal-2026/
Deductible social contributions rule
Only the employee share of IPRES is deductible from gross before the abattement. Employee CSS = 0% (CSS is employer-only). CFCE is employer-only. See Section 6.
Self-employment income treatment
Sole traders / professionals under the réel regime: net business profit (income less wholly-business expenses, Section 3.2) feeds the IRPP barème via the quotient. Small traders/service providers with turnover ≤ 50,000,000 FCFA may instead fall under the CGU synthetic tax (Section 7). BNC (non-commercial professional) income, rental income, or multiple employers → standard IRPP, must file an annual return (Section 8).
Rental income treatment
Gross rental income less a 30% standard deduction. Net feeds the IRPP. Income from land may attract a proportional rate — see 5.7 and flag for reviewer.https://afrotools.com/fr/blog/guide-irpp-senegal-2026/
Total-column arithmetic (verified)
RG 8.4% + 5.6% = 14.0%. RC 3.6% + 2.4% = 6.0%. RC applies in addition to RG for cadres only.
Employee CSS rate
Employee CSS contribution = 0%.

Filing and payment deadlines
Tax year: calendar year. Annual IRPP return: all individuals subject to PIT must file before 1 May of each year (some local sources say "before 30 April" — effectively the same). Salary-only earners whose tax is fully withheld at source by the employer are generally exempt from filing. PAYE / withholding: employers withhold IRPP + TRIMF + employee IPRES monthly on gross remuneration (incl. benefits-in-kind and bonuses); remitted to DGID/CSS/IPRES typically by ~the 15th of the following month [RESEARCH GAP — confirm exact remittance date against the DGID calendar]. CGU: see Section 7.https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/senegal/individual/tax-administration ; Rivermate (https://rivermate.com/guides/senegal/taxes)
Cadre status IPRES RC rule
The IPRES Régime Complémentaire (RC) 2.4% employee / 3.6% employer supplement applies only to cadres (executives). Conservative default: apply RG only (no RC) until cadre status is confirmed. Flag for reviewer: confirm cadre classification and the correct ceiling base.
Family quotient parts Tier 2 rule
Number of parts depends on marital status and dependent children (Section 4). Conservative default: STOP — do not compute without confirmed parts. Flag for reviewer: confirm number of dependent children and the (unverified) family-relief cap.
Benefits-in-kind valuation rule
Taxable benefits use the PwC notional scale (Section 11). Flag for reviewer: confirm each benefit and whether the statutory travel allowance exemption applies.
Proportional vs progressive rates rule
Whether the proportional rates (Section 5.7) still apply post-reform is unresolved. Flag for reviewer: confirm treatment for dividends, land income, and "other" income.
Home office mixed-use expenses rule
Only the business-use portion of phone, internet, and premises is deductible. Conservative default: 0% until a documented business percentage is provided.
CGU vs réel regime determination rule
Turnover near the 50,000,000 FCFA threshold, or activities that exclude CGU (BNC, real estate), require a regime determination. Flag for reviewer: confirm eligibility and whether opting into réel is beneficial.
Prohibitions list
NEVER apply the barème without a confirmed family-quotient parts figure. NEVER compute tax for income per part above 13,500,000 FCFA — the top rate (40% vs 43%) is unresolved. NEVER quote a Senegalese late-filing / late-payment penalty figure — they are unsourced (research gap). NEVER apply the IPRES RC supplement to a non-cadre. NEVER treat the 30% abattement as uncapped — it is capped at 900,000 FCFA. NEVER deduct employee CSS — the employee CSS rate is 0%. NEVER deduct CFCE from the employee — it is employer-only. NEVER run a CGU-eligible small trader through the IRPP barème. NEVER allow entertainment, fines, drawings, or income tax itself as a deduction. NEVER present any flagged [RESEARCH GAP] figure as definitive — escalate to a Senegalese Expert-Comptable.
Rendered from the canonical facts model. General reference only — confirm with a qualified professional before acting.
Tier 2 — research-verified, pending accountant sign-off. This skill was assembled from secondary sources (PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries — Senegal, the DGID, and Senegalese payroll references) and cross-checked against the Code Général des Impôts (CGI). Several figures could not be reconciled to a single authoritative text and are marked [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm]. Do not file on the basis of this skill without a Senegalese chartered accountant (Expert-Comptable / member of ONECCA) confirming the flagged items.

[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm] — Top bracket conflict. PwC's Senegal page (last reviewed 31 Mar 2026, https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/senegal/individual/taxes-on-personal-income) shows a 7-band schedule topping out at 43% (bands 13,500,001–50,000,000 @ 40% and 50,000,000+ @ 43%). This conflicts with the 6-band / 40% structure consistently reported by Senegalese payroll/tax sources and with CGI Article 174 as cited. The 6-band / 40% structure above is used here; the PwC 43% top band must be reconciled against the current CGI text before any figure above 13,500,000 FCFA/part is published.
[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm] — First (0%) threshold. Senegalese sources consistently give 630,000 FCFA (post-reform); PwC and Rivermate give 600,000. The 630,000 figure is used here pending confirmation.
Conservative Defaults Table
| Ambiguity | Default |
|---|---|
| Unknown family situation (parts) | STOP — do not apply the quotient without marital status + number of children |
| Unknown residency | Treat as non-resident → out of scope until residency confirmed (see R-SN-3) |
| Unknown whether cadre (executive) | Apply IPRES Régime Général only (no RC supplement) until confirmed |
| Unknown business-use % (vehicle, phone) | 0% deduction |
| Unknown expense category | Not deductible |
| Unknown taxable benefit-in-kind value | Use the PwC notional scale (Section 11), flag for reviewer |
| Income above 13,500,000 FCFA/part | STOP — top-band rate unresolved (40% vs 43%); escalate |
| Self-employed turnover ≤ 50,000,000 FCFA | Consider CGU eligibility (Section 7); confirm activity type |
Minimum viable — bank statement and/or payslips (bulletin de paie) for the full tax year, plus confirmation of (a) tax residency in Senegal, (b) family situation (marital status + number of dependent children → parts), and (c) employment vs self-employment status.
Recommended — full payroll summary (gross, IPRES/CSS withheld, IRPP withheld, TRIMF withheld), prior-year IRPP assessment, IPRES/CSS contribution statements, and confirmation of cadre (executive) status.
Ideal — complete income statement, all invoices/receipts, asset register, benefits-in-kind schedule, rental-income detail, and CGU declaration (if self-employed under CGU).
Refusal if minimum is missing — SOFT WARN. No income document at all = hard stop. Income document without supporting records = proceed with a reviewer warning: "This IRPP computation was produced from bank statement / payslips alone. The reviewer must verify the family-quotient parts, the cadre/non-cadre IPRES treatment, and that all deductions are supported."
Deterministic pre-classifier. When a bank-statement / payslip line matches a pattern, apply the treatment directly. Match by case-insensitive substring on the description as it appears (French / Wolof-influenced terms common). If none match, fall through to Tier 1 rules (Section 5).

[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm] — Family-relief cap. Secondary sources cite a maximum family-charge saving of approximately 300,000 FCFA/year and a "~10% per additional part" framing (https://www.justanswer.com/social-security/...). This cap is secondary and unverified; confirm the plafonnement against the CGI before applying any ceiling to the quotient benefit. The reduction can never produce a refund.

[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm]. PwC reports proportional rates layered alongside the progressive IRPP by income nature: wages/salaries 11%, dividends 10%, income from land 20%, other income 25% (https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/senegal/individual/taxes-on-personal-income). In practice the salary computation now runs through the single progressive barème above. Whether all proportional rates still apply post-reform must be confirmed before relying on them.
All figures below confirmed by PwC (https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/senegal/individual/other-taxes) and the official DGID flyer (parsed via https://africapaierh.com/juridique/cotisations-sociales-et-impots-au-senegal/); the two sources agree.

[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm] — exact split and caps. PwC: ~6% on a base of 60,000–250,000 FCFA/month, split between employer and employee; secondary sources cite employer cap ~30,000 FCFA/month and employee portion ~10,000 FCFA/month. "Non-work-related illness" coverage: 2%–7.5% shared employer/employee, base up to 250,000 FCFA/month (PwC, https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/senegal/individual/other-taxes). Confirm the exact split before computing.

[RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm]. Conflicting secondary figures: ~64,223 FCFA/month (hourly ~370.526 FCFA) after a 5–10% private-sector increase decree (https://www.sikafinance.com/...); other sources cite ~58,900 FCFA/month or ~52,500 FCFA. Base instrument historically Decree No. 2018-1048 (11 June 2018) for SMIG (non-agricultural) and SMAG (agricultural). Most plausibly ~64,000 FCFA/month for 2025 after revaluation, but confirm against the official Ministère du Travail decree. SMAG (agricultural) is lower. Not used in any IRPP computation here.
