TVA 16% — Full compliance with General Tax Directorate (DGI) requirements
Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée in Mauritania
Mauritania operates a TVA (Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée) system at a standard rate of 16%, administered by the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI). As an Islamic republic, Mauritania also supports Zakat obligations. In 2018, the new currency — the new Ouguiya (MRU) — was introduced, replacing the old Ouguiya (MRO) at a 1:10 ratio. XiKey uses the new MRU currency and supports Arabic-French bilingual operations to serve the Mauritanian market.
