As of March 29, 2024, the Algerian National Institute of Industrial Property (INAPI) has started applying a 19 percent VAT rate on all official fees associated with intellectual property services. This new taxation measure follows Algeria’s broader fiscal policy adjustments aimed at standardizing VAT application across various service sectors, which began with the Finance and Tax law of 2022.
The imposition of VAT will affect both existing and new IP cases in Algeria. For pending cases that require further payments, additional VAT will be applicable even though the official fees were settled at the time of filing.
