After the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had entered into a tax treaty with Belgium, it has also entered in a tax treaty with South Africa. This new tax treaty with South Africa was signed in 2005 but has come into force only on 18 July 2012. This could improve the way of doing business in the DRC.

NEW VAT LEGISLATION OF THE DR. CONGO  

 In August 2010, The President of the Republic signed a decree replacing the sales tax “ Impot sur le chiffre d’Affaires” (ICA) with a value-added tax (VAT), which was introduced on January 1, 2012

NOUVELLE LOI SUR LA TAXE SUR LA VALEUR AJOUTEE [TVA] EN RD.CONGO

New Articles on Tax in the DR. CONGO


Like all tax systems, the Congolese tax system is characterized by the multiplicity of taxes notably: direct taxes on revenue; indirect taxes on spending; and taxes on capital. Taxation can be either spontaneous or organized by the authorities. To encourage certain business, the State generally grants aid in two forms: through subsidies and very low interest loans or through exemptions or reductions in tax payments. This article gives the Tax highlights of the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC].
---------------------
 On 10 February 2012, the income tax treaty (Treaty) between Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was published in the Belgian Official Gazette. As Belgium is the first country with a treaty with the DRC, the Treaty may be an important impetus for bilateral financial, commercial and trade relationships between the DRC and Belgium. This can also be beneficial in an international context.   
--------------------
 Signée le 23 mai 2007, la convention de prévention de double imposition entre la République Démocratique du Congo et la Belgique est en vigueur depuis le 24 décembre 2011, et est applicable aux impôts dus à la source à partir du 1er janvier 2012 et sur les revenus de périodes imposables commençant à partir de la même date. C’est depuis le 10 Février 2012, que ladite convention a été publiée dans le Moniteur belge. Cet article fait état de la convention et des opportunités d’affaires en les deux pays.
