RF Report

Angola’s tax administration (AGT) has announced an exceptional extension for submitting January’s periodic VAT declarations on 14 March 2026. This follows after the tax authorities acknowledged the challenges taxpayers face with the newly implemented electronic invoice system.

The deadline, originally set for 15 March, has been extended to the last working day of March 2026. This one-time extension applies without any penalties or additional charges for late submission.

While the electronic invoice system launched in January represents a significant advancement in transparency and efficiency, AGT acknowledges that taxpayers may still encounter technical difficulties and uncertainties when navigating the new platform.
