  • Cameroon’s finance minister says the deadlines for filing 2025 personal income tax and property tax returns have expired.
  • Senior officials and public- and parapublic-sector employees who have not filed have seven days to regularize their status.
  • Possible penalties include the publication of late taxpayers’ names in the press.

Cameroon’s tax authorities have given senior officials and public- and parapublic-sector employees seven days to comply with their tax obligations or face heavy sanctions, including public disclosure of their names.

In a statement signed on September 2, Finance Minister Louis Paul Motaze said the deadlines for filing annual personal income tax and property tax returns for the 2025 financial year had expired. The measure specifically concerns non-professional taxpayers in the senior-official category and employees in the public and parapublic sectors.

The original deadline was July 31, 2026, before being extended to August 30. The ministry said taxpayers who missed the extended deadline must now regularize their situation within seven days.

The statement congratulated those who had completed their filings, while signaling a tougher approach from the Directorate General of Taxes toward those who remain in arrears.
