DRC: Fabien Mayani Calls for a Single Tax Regime for All Mining Operators

Fabien Mayani from the Carter Center emphasized the need for a uniform fiscal regime for all mining operators in the DRC, criticizing special tax regimes like that of Sicomines, which cause revenue losses for the state. He also mentioned recent agreements with the United States that may include special provisions deviating from the mining code. Mayani advocates for maintaining the key provisions of the 2018 mining law, including community development and financial contributions. He warns that multiple special regimes weaken the government's ability to generate revenue from natural resources.
