Haitian Government Publishes New Tax Code, Replacing 2022 Decree
The decree appeared in a special edition of Le Moniteur as authorities cite the need for state revenue amid a deep economic crisis.
The Haitian government has published a new tax code via a "decree replacing the one of December 19, 2022," according to Le Nouvelliste. The text appeared in a special edition of the official gazette Le Moniteur dated September 30, 2026.
According to the report, the Council of Ministers based its decision on a set of considerations. Among them, the decree states that the Haitian economy is going through a deep crisis and that, "in a concern for prevention, efficiency and risk management, the State must have the necessary resources to meet its obligations." The decree also references the ongoing process of state reform.
The measure replaces the previous tax code adopted under the December 19, 2022 decree. Le Nouvelliste reported the publication but did not detail the full contents of the new provisions in the available excerpt.
The tax code publication comes amid broader government activity by decree, including measures on dry ports along the Dominican border and on the High Court of Justice, the latter criticized in a UN report. Further details on the new code's specific tax rates and provisions were not included in the published excerpt.
