African Regulatory Calendar

A continuously updated compliance and deadline calendar covering the regulatory obligations and programme windows most relevant to African entrepreneurs operating in the five primary markets (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Rwanda) plus six secondary markets (Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Morocco). The calendar has four components. Regulatory filing deadlines: corporate income tax filing deadlines by country and fiscal year type (calendar year vs. financial year); VAT/GST return filing dates (monthly or quarterly, by country); PAYE remittance deadlines (monthly, by country); annual return filing deadlines with corporate registries (CAC Nigeria, BRS Kenya, RGD Ghana, CIPC South Africa, RDB Rwanda); and employment-related compliance dates (pension contributions, health insurance, workers compensation). Funding programme windows: confirmed open application windows for the year's major grant programmes (TEF — opens January; specific programme windows updated as announced); indicative cycles for government grant programmes (YouWin, BOI, LSETF, BDF Rwanda — typically annual with varying months); and deadline alerts for international development grant calls (GIZ, USAID, Gates Grand Challenges — announced through official channels and aggregated). Regulatory change tracker: recent and pending regulatory changes with implementation dates that affect business operations — CBN circulars, Kenya Finance Act provisions, Ghana Revenue Authority updates, SARS rule changes. Business event calendar: major African business conferences (AfricArena, Techpoint Build, Africa Tech Festival, VivaTech Africa Day) and investor events (DEMO Africa, Seedstars Africa, Tony Elumelu Forum) where funding conversations happen. The calendar is filterable by country, obligation type (tax filing, grant window, compliance deadline, business event), and timing (next 30 days, next 90 days, full year view). --- *Cross-track resources · Cross-track resources · Article R4.* Browse related [funding opportunities](/opportunities) on MaxWith filtered to your country and sector.
