Fatshimetrie, the most visited news website by the people of Kinshasa, recently published an article highlighting the importance of paying taxes and fees in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to information relayed by the online media, the Directorate General of Revenue of Kinshasa (DGRK) has set the monthly payment deadline for August 12, 2024 for taxpayers in the city. This decision taken by the Kinshasa tax administration aims to ensure the proper functioning of public services and the development of the city.
Taxpayers affected by this deadline are both individuals and legal entities, subject to different types of taxes and fees. These include the consumption tax on locally produced goods such as beer, alcohol, tobacco, cement, wheat flour, as well as other taxes on air, rail and river freight. It is essential for taxpayers to comply with this payment deadline to avoid fines provided for by the legislation in force.
But beyond the tax obligation, the payment of taxes and fees also contributes to the financing of essential public infrastructure, such as public lighting, sanitation, or waste management. By fulfilling their tax obligations, taxpayers thus participate in improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of Kinshasa and in building a more prosperous and more developed city.
It is important to emphasize that failure to comply with this payment deadline may have financial consequences for the taxpayers concerned. This is why the DGRK invites all taxable persons to take the necessary steps to fulfill their tax obligations within the specified time.
In conclusion, the payment of taxes and fees in Kinshasa is of capital importance to ensure the proper functioning of public services and contribute to the harmonious development of the city. By complying with the payment deadlines set by the tax administration, taxpayers actively participate in building a fairer and more united society, where everyone contributes according to their means to the common well-being.
