DRC Mining Revenue Reaches 7.9 Trillion CDF as Tax Authorities Dominate Collections
DRC mining sector generates 7.9 trillion CDF in 2025 with tax authority DGI accounting for majority of revenues
Mining revenues collected in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) reached 7,947.5 billion Congolese francs in 2025, according to data published by the Technical Unit for Mining Coordination and Planning (CTCPM) under the Ministry of Mines.
The figures show that the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI) remains the dominant revenue collector in the sector, accounting for 81% of total receipts, equivalent to 6,411.9 billion CDF.
It is followed by the General Directorate of Administrative, Judicial, State Property and Participation Revenues (DGRAD), which contributed 1,532.6 billion CDF, or 19%.
The General Directorate of Customs and Excise (DGDA) recorded a marginal contribution of 3.02 billion CDF, representing just 0.04% of total mining revenues.
Mining remains a critical pillar of the DRC economy, with the country heavily dependent on copper and cobalt exports to support fiscal stability and foreign exchange earnings.
The DGI plays a central role in mobilising extractive sector revenues. According to the latest Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI DRC) report, published in early 2026, the tax authority collected approximately $2.2 billion from the mining and hydrocarbons sectors in 2023.
This represented around 38% of total extractive industry revenues, which amounted to $5.8 billion that year.
To improve revenue mobilisation, the DRC government has introduced reforms to corporate income tax and personal income tax systems, both administered by the DGI.
These reforms came into effect at the beginning of 2026 and are aimed at strengthening fiscal efficiency and increasing collections from the extractive sector.
