On Monday June 8, 2026, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI), created on June 6, 1924 under the government of President Louis Borno, celebrated its 102 years of existence under the theme "The DGI is modernizing to serve better".

The Prime Minister, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, underlined the strategic role of taxation in the functioning of the State and in the financing of public policies, particularly in terms of security, public services and national development. He also praised the efforts of executives and employees of the DGI, whose work has enabled significant progress in the modernization of administrative procedures.
