Tax compliance and invoicing initiatives in Congo

Overview

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Ministry of Finance has launched a transparency initiative led by Minister Doudou Fwamba. The program encourages citizens to demand standardized invoices for all goods and services and introduces the ‘FACNO RDC’ mobile application to allow consumers to verify invoice compliance and report irregularities. The Ministry has offered potential rewards for reports that lead to verified instances of non-compliance.

In the Republic of the Congo, the Direction Générale des Impôts et des Domaines (Dgid) is pushing for the adoption of the Congo Electronic Invoicing System (Sfec). Authorities have warned that businesses failing to comply by the October 31 deadline may face sanctions, including the risk that their invoices will be rejected by clients. Data shows that as of mid-October 2026, a significant portion of connected companies had not yet begun issuing certified invoices. To assist with this transition, Dgid teams have initiated awareness campaigns and practical demonstrations in Pointe-Noire.
