The 30% statutory ceiling on the IPR (Ordinance-Law 69/009, Art. 84: the total contribution cannot exceed 30% of taxable income) is applied. The per-dependent reduction (2% each, maximum 9, Art. 89) is not modelled, so the figure for a taxpayer with dependents is slightly over-stated. INSS is not deductible from the IPR base under DRC law, so it is correctly excluded. Figures use the scale in force for the stated year; confirm with the Direction Generale des Impots.

🇨🇩 DR Congo

DR Congo levies the IPR (Impot Professionnel sur les Remunerations) on salaries using the 4-band annual scale introduced by the 2020 Finance Law, which reduced the previous 10 brackets to 4 and raised the first band to 3%: 3% up to 1,944,000 CDF, 15% to 21,600,000, 30% to 43,200,000, and 40% above. Under Ordinance-Law 69/009 (Art. 84) the total IPR cannot exceed 30% of taxable income. A 2% reduction per dependent (max 9, Art. 89) also applies. Employee INSS pension is 5% of gross salary, capped, and is not deducted from the IPR base. A unified IRPP (Law 23/053) has been announced but its scale is not yet in force. Kinshasa is the main economic centre.
