Yes. Even as a micro-entrepreneur, you are required to:

• Pay the business license (patente) annually, which legalizes your activity within the municipality;

• Register your business with the local tax office, even if you’re under the simplified regime;

• In some cases, create a professional tax account, which may be online or manual, to track your payments and declarations.

In the future, digital platforms may be introduced to secure and simplify micro-entrepreneur registration and payment, especially in urban centers like Kolwezi or Likasi.
