Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé officially launched Haiti's new fiscal code on Thursday, marking the opening of the 2026-2027 fiscal year, according to Le Nouvelliste. In his address, Fils-Aimé described the measure as the country's first modern tax code, saying it aims to harmonize and simplify a set of norms previously scattered across multiple laws, decrees and regulatory texts. He argued in favor of a more coherent, transparent and equitable tax system capable of strengthening the mobilization of national resources. The Minister of Economy and Finance, Serge Gabriel Collin, said the reform is important for reinforcing the capacities of the state. The report did not provide further details on the specific provisions, rates or timeline for implementation of the new code. The launch was presented by officials as part of broader efforts tied to the new fiscal year. No additional figures or technical specifics on the code were included in the source report.
