Hi TRG and welcome to Expat.com!

Hope that you'll soon be enlightened.;)

In the good old times, everyone had to go to the tax office and pay taxes. Today, taxes are payed by the employer (so the 95% of Congolese in the informal sector does not pay taxes anymore). Your employer should know, how much taxes are for you.

Following to this link congorama.com/business/pincipimpot you may pay 40–50% taxes on your salary (IPR, table on the bottom) (2000$ = ca. 2 Mio Fc).

2000 $ -> 40% tax free = 800 $
2000 $ -> 60% taxed (45%)
                    1200 -> 45 % tax = 540 $
                    1200 -> 55 % sal. = 660 $
TOTAL: 1460 $ salary if 45% taxes
              1400 $ salary if 50% taxes

can anyone shed light on whether you receive tax free packages when you are an expat in the DRC?
