Tax Identification Number in Senegal

In Senegal, the Tax Identification Number is a unique identifier issued by the General Directorate of Taxes and Domains (DGID). It is used to identify taxpayers and is required for tax administration and fiscal procedures.

Structure of the Tax ID

The tax identification number in Senegal is composed of two elements:

• The NINEA, which contains 9 numeric characters
• The COFI, which contains 3 alphanumeric characters

What is it used for?

This number is used to identify taxpayers in Senegal. It may be required for invoicing, tax administration, and certain obligations related to VAT and other tax reporting procedures.

General Format

The general format consists of 9 digits followed by 3 alphanumeric characters. The COFI code may contain both letters and numbers.

Example Structure

• NINEA: 123456789

Important Note

The tax identification number is used to officially identify a taxpayer. For complete validation, it may be necessary to verify the number with the relevant tax authorities, as checking the format alone does not confirm that the tax registration actually exists.
