Draft 2023 budget: the government is targeting CF 12,833.9 billion from tax revenue and CF 3,168.4 billion from non-tax revenue

Maximizing public treasury revenue is one of the objectives pursued by the government.

It is in this vein that it plans to mobilize, during the 2023 fiscal year, a figure equivalent to nearly 12,833.9 billion Congolese Francs (6.4 billion US dollars) in revenue. taxes ; while non-tax revenues are projected at 3,168.4 billion Congolese francs.

According to sources close to the government, tax revenue is expected to increase by 80.0% compared to its level for the 2022 financial year, which was 7,130.9 billion Congolese francs.

This significant increase in tax revenue is justified by the significant contribution of the mining sector.

In detail, these revenues are made up of taxes on salaries: 1,939.1 billion Congolese Francs (i.e. 15.1% of tax revenues); taxes on profits and profits and on income from movable capital: 8,237.9 billion Congolese francs (i.e. 64.2% of tax revenue); value added tax (VAT): 2,568.9 billion Congolese Francs (i.e. 20.0% of tax revenue); other revenue: 88.0 billion Congolese Francs (i.e. 0.7% of tax revenue).

Our sources reveal that the revenue mobilized by the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI), for the month of August 2022 alone, is estimated at 860.7 billion Congolese Francs, equivalent to nearly 430 million US dollars.

On the other hand, the assignments of DGI revenues were set, during the same period, at 432.4 billion Congolese Francs, or nearly 216 million US dollars, representing an achievement rate of 199% at the end of August. 2022.

CF 3,168.4 billion of non-tax revenue

Still in its quest to bail out the coffers of the public treasury, the government plans to mobilize 3,168.4 billion Congolese Francs from non-tax revenues, equivalent to nearly 1.5 billion US dollars for the 2023 fiscal year.

These revenues should record an increase of 18.9% compared to their level for the 2022 financial year, where they amounted to 2,664.1 billion Congolese Francs.

According to sources close to the government, these revenues are driven by revenues from the mining, environment and land affairs sectors.

They are distributed as follows: administrative revenue: 1,000.8 billion Congolese francs (31.6% of non-tax revenue); judicial revenue: 145.4 billion Congolese francs (4.6% of non-tax revenue); state revenue: 1,932.6 billion Congolese francs (60.9% of non-tax revenue) and equity revenue: 89.6 billion CDF, or 2.8% of non-tax revenue.

Meanwhile the DRC cleanup is happening on all fronts...
*While Chinese ministries are encouraging domestic companies to sign long term supply contracts, as

China is low key panicking about high lithium prices

Amid continuously rising lithium prices, four Chinese Gov ministries had a meeting last week, low-key packing their collective dacks because spot market supply continues to be outweighed by sustained demand from the downstream electric vehicle (EV) sector.

Benchmark Minerals Intelligence (BMI) recorded lithium carbonate EXW China (Technical) prices as high as US$69,450, lithium carbonate EXW China (Battery) at US$71,575 and lithium hydroxide EXW China at US$71,275 last week.

And China is worried, with the ministries encouraging domestic companies to sign long term supply contracts, as well as promote policies which support lithium resource development in a bid to stabilise pricing and limit sales prices from notably deviating from production costs.

“Nonetheless, contacts reported to Benchmark that lithium feedstock purchasing prices from ex-China markets remain high, and domestic feedstock supply remains impacted by COVID-19 testing regulations on vehicles leaving and entering Qinghai Province with shipments of industrial grade lithium carbonate, limiting flexibility on sales prices to end users,” BMI said.

This comes as the Chinese Yuan continues to weaken against the US dollar, softening prices marginally in dollar terms.

Morale appears to have taken a downward turn. I thought it was just my mood, with my ever ‘imminent’ retirement becoming less imminent by the day, Monday’s sure hurt worse. Coming on here makes me realise it’s not just me starting to lose my shit!!

I'd really like some good news. All my footy teams lost on Saturday (Swans, Wallabies, Rabbitohs) and I broke a rib yesterday after a low speed innocous bumble on the pushy (not a scratch on the bike or me) and spent 4 hours in ED so they could make sure there was no internal damage. The endone is good though, and while at the hospital I was able to tick "morphine" off my bucket list - a long time coming after 61 years :ROFLMAO:

If you zoom in closely enough, the security pattern over some entries in the document are out of alignment, and some of the letters are of different quality i.e. not what you'd expect from printed fonts that's then scanned. I think that some of the details on that document have been edited/faked.
Do you think if the Advisor to the Ministry of Relations with the DRC Parliament posts crap like this, true or fake, and doesn't withdraw that post, is a pretty good indication there are major problems in the FT Government?

As mentioned before, I will be pleasantly surprised if FT will put his foot down and make corrective moves to run his country properly.

I am starting to have extreme doubts that the ML will be released before FT goes.
If the DRC would release the ML today, AVZ will not produce spodumene before end of 2023, well after the DRC election.
So there is no real benefit for FT to issue now.

Why is Simon Cong not a person non grata, but is still wheeling and dealing in the DRC?
Does he have a dirt file on every person who accepted bribes from him, which seems to be about 100% of the DRC elite?

The release of a guy convicted for 20 years for stealing about US$ 50 million from the DRC Government and releasing him prematurely because of 'Health Reasons' (Btw he could be of great help for FT to remain in office), doesn't look very promising for the FT Government.

Do you think that is fake news too?

Hope you're okay there Retro

I broke two ribs tripping over my own feet playing in a Dads v Sons red rover soccer fun day before leaving for a family overseas holiday

Man lifting those bags into the overhead luggage compartments was an interesting experience....

Lived on codeine for weeks.....man I wish I'd got some of the good stuff like you!

You seem to have changed your tune a bit lately, cruiser, no? I recall you previously pushing the line of FT cleaning house and so don't worry things will be sorted in time.

You can't be serious . You are starting to lose the plot mate . How is it not in FT best interest to get this mine up and running ? The election is not for another 14 months and he maybe replaced by f-- knows who . I wouldn't be looking that far a head . We are going to know well before then if it's all systems go or we are screwed . AVZ will have to trade with or without the ML .

How long do you think it should take to release the ML, or should I rephrase that into how many paper bags do you think it takes?

I have not seen a lot of cleaning up by FT, have you?
To be honest he barely has had time, was overseas, or interstate globe trotting, making Facebook pixies for his collection.

Maybe it is safer being overseas than at home in a bulletproof jacket.
If your face doesn't fit in Kinshasa and you wish to extent your life, it is probably better to stay very far away.

Do you think the head of the Cadastre is so photogenic that he has to be lately on every photo with the MoM, or is that to show that the MoM is really a puppet on a string, directed by Jean Felix?

Let's see if and how long they are going to extend, or maybe even renegotiate the Cath deal (and tell Cath 'With love from Simon').

Maybe something can be deducted out of that move.
