Frequently Asked Questions

What accounting standard is in force in Niger?

Niger applies the revised SYSCOHADA (2017 Uniform Act), common to the 17 OHADA member countries. The 8-class chart of accounts is mandatory. CassKai natively includes the SYSCOHADA chart of accounts with all required classes and sub-classes.

How does SECeF e-invoicing work in Niger?

SECeF (Electronic Certification and Invoicing System) is deployed by Niger's DGI. Each invoice must be submitted to the SECeF platform for certification before being issued to the customer. The invoice receives a fiscal seal and a verification QR code. CassKai automates this process through its built-in SECeF connector.

Why is Niger's VAT rate 19% instead of 18%?

Although the WAEMU directive sets the standard VAT rate at 18%, Niger applies an increased rate of 19% in accordance with its national legislation. This specificity is built into CassKai: the 19% rate is automatically applied when creating invoices for Nigerien businesses.

What is the DSF and when must it be filed in Niger?

The Statistical and Tax Declaration (DSF) is a mandatory document that consolidates the company's SYSCOHADA financial statements and tax schedules. It must be filed with the DGI before April 30th of the year following the fiscal year. CassKai automatically generates the DSF from your accounting data.
