Analysis of the impact tax laws on revenues in DRC

Despite the DRC's natural wealth, tax collection is insufficient, notably due to a lack of tax education and access to information. The study underlines that a lack of awareness of tax obligations leads to low compliance, encouraging tax evasion and corruption.Using a mixed methodology, including surveys of taxpayers and tax agents, this work reveals some worrying results: 93.3% of taxpayers are unaware of tax laws. Tax agents, although informed, lack the resources to raise awareness effectively. Recommendations include the integration of tax education into school curricula, awareness-raising campaigns, and the simplification of tax texts. By addressing these challenges, this study aims to strengthen tax revenue collection, essential for the region's sustainable socio-economic development.
