1. Our Commitment to Financial Openness
DIL is committed to full financial transparency in accordance with legal and regulatory frameworks established by the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Provincial Government of Lualaba. This commitment is guided by our principles of accountability, good governance, and respect for public funds.
We believe that when taxpayers understand how tax revenues are collected, managed, and reinvested, they are more likely to engage with the tax system and fulfill their civic obligations.
2. Public Reporting of Revenues and Expenditures
To ensure transparency, DIL provides regular updates and detailed reports on:
- Total tax revenues collected by sector, region, and type of tax.
- Collection rates, arrears, and recovery efforts.
- Trends in taxpayer compliance and filing rates.
- Budget allocations and operational expenditures of DIL.
- Investments in digital systems, infrastructure, training, and public awareness campaigns.
These reports are made publicly available through our website and annual publications, and are shared with oversight bodies, civil society organizations, and provincial institutions.
3. Budget and Resource Allocation
Each year, DIL develops a detailed operational budget based on its strategic priorities and performance targets. Budget lines are allocated to:
- Staff remuneration and recruitment.
- Office infrastructure and field operations.
- Taxpayer education and awareness.
- Technology systems for data processing and e-services.
- Audits, inspections, and enforcement.
Our budget proposals and implementation outcomes are reviewed by the Provincial Ministry of Finance and subject to internal and external audits.
4. Procurement and Spending Controls
To ensure fair and responsible use of public funds, DIL applies strict procurement and financial management procedures:
- All purchases follow competitive bidding and public procurement rules.
- Service providers and contractors are selected transparently and based on merit.
- Spending is monitored through internal controls and financial oversight.
- Audit trails are maintained for all expenditures, including petty cash, fleet operations, and IT procurement.

- Mandatory disclosure of assets and interests for senior staff.
- Ethics training and compliance audits.
- Anonymous reporting channels for whistleblowers.
- Disciplinary procedures in cases of fraud or embezzlement.
- Coordination with provincial and national anti-corruption agencies.
Our leadership is held accountable for ethical conduct and responsible stewardship of public resources.
