Congolese business law, explained with its sources.
Ask about the Mining Code, tax, customs, labour law or OHADA. Okapi AI answers from the official texts and cites every article.
How is the mining royalty calculated?
The mining royalty is calculated on the gross commercial value of the marketable products sold, at a rate that depends on the category of substance [1]. Substances declared “strategic” are subject to a specific rate [2].
- Law No. 18/001 of 9 March 2018 (Mining Code), arts. 240–241
- Decree No. 18/042 of 24 November 2018 on strategic substances
