Hi TRG and welcome to º£½ÇÂÒÂ×!

Hope that you'll soon be enlightened.

In the good old times, everyone had to go to the tax office and pay taxes. Today, taxes are payed by the employer (so the 95% of Congolese in the informal sector does not pay taxes anymore). Your employer should know, how much taxes are for you.

Following to this link congorama.com/business/pincipimpot you may pay 40–50% taxes on your salary (IPR, table on the bottom) (2000$ = ca. 2 Mio Fc).

2000 $ -> 40% tax free = 800 $
2000 $ -> 60% taxed (45%)
                    1200 -> 45 % tax = 540 $
                    1200 -> 55 % sal. = 660 $
TOTAL: 1460 $ salary if 45% taxes
              1400 $ salary if 50% taxes

can anyone shed light on whether you receive tax free packages when you are an expat in the DRC?
