L’argentmobile est une industrie en plein essor enAfriqueet présente des avantages potentiels pour le développement économique et l’inclusion financière. Confrontés à de forts vents contraires sur le plan fiscal, un nombre croissant de pays africains ont introduit des taxes sur l’argentmobileet d’autres services financiers numériques (SFN), dont certaines ont suscité une forte résistance. Les critiques craignent que ces taxes ne freinent la croissance des services financiers numériques et n’exercent un impact disproportionné sur les ménages aux revenus les plus faibles. L’ICTD a étudié l’impact de différentes approches de la taxation des SFN enAfrique dans le cadre de son programme DIGITAX, qui s’est déroulé de 2020 à 2024. L’équipe de DIGITAX et un réseau de chercheurs indépendants ont mené des recherches au Cameroun, en Côte d’Ivoire, au Ghana, au Kenya, au Nigéria, en Tanzanie eten Ouganda, ainsi qu’une recherche documentaire avec une portée géographique plus large. La présente note synthétise les résultats de la recherche et l’analyse politique du programme.
