Guinea and Rwanda have launched technical discussions on their first income tax treaty, aiming to establish a stable tax framework that supports cross-border trade and investment. Any agreement would require finalisation, signature, and ratification before entering into force.
Officials from Guinea and Rwanda met on 4 August 2026 to begin technical discussions on an income tax treaty, according to a recent release from Guinea’s General Directorate of Taxes (DGI).
The discussions, hosted by Guinea’s General Directorate of Taxes (DGI) in Conakry, are intended to create a clear and stable tax framework that can facilitate cross-border trade and encourage investment between the two countries.
Officials from both sides highlighted the importance of strengthening economic ties and reaching a mutually beneficial framework for businesses operating in both jurisdictions. The discussions are being conducted at the technical level, with formal negotiations expected to be handled by the relevant ministers.
Any resulting tax treaty between the two countries would need to be finalised, signed, and ratified before taking effect.
