LET'S TALK ABOUT TAXATION IN THE DRC Omitted declaration: the reminder triggers a five-day period Forgotten tax declaration? The reminder letter serves as a formal notice: you have five days from its receipt to regularize. This rule does not apply in cases of recurrence. Keep proof of delivery and act immediately. #TaxationDRC #Taxpayer RULE | Article 5 of the law on tax procedures, amended by Order-Law No. 005/2012 of September 21, 2012, provides for this five-day period. Article 89 sets a 25% increase when regularization occurs within this period. PRACTICE | Upon receipt, record the date, keep the receipt or envelope, and quickly submit the declaration with the necessary supporting documents. ANALYSIS OF THE MUSONGE | The reminder does not erase delays or penalties: it constitutes a final opportunity for regularization before automatic taxation. In cases of recurrence, this window does not apply. Primary source | Text published in the official documentation of the DGI. Le Musonge @MudimbiThierry (translated)
