Is there a legal rule in Senegal on the validity period of Giftcards?
No explicit nationwide minimum/maximum duration for Giftcards. Terms are set contractually (terms and conditions); decisive are consumer protection rules under Loi n° 2021-25 and information duties in e commerce.
How are Giftcards treated for tax purposes in Senegal (VAT, single-purpose / multi-purpose)?
Senegal follows the UEMOA/ECOWAS VAT framework. A specific SPV/MPV regime is not codified; in practice, VAT is charged on redemption when the actual supply is determined.
What consumer rights apply in Senegal for expired Giftcards?
No general right to redemption/refund after expiry if the limitation was clearly agreed; if terms are non-transparent or unfair, the mechanisms of Law 2021-25 apply.
What special rules apply in Senegal to the sale, issuance, or redemption of Giftcards?
Communicate terms and conditions clearly (terms, redemption channel, fees, residual value). For online sales, enhanced information duties apply (identity, prices including taxes). Documentation of issue and redemption is recommended.
