Anyone needing a map of Cape Verde tax. Tax year: calendar year. Currency: escudo (CVE). DNRE runs tax today on its pages; DL 34/2025 approved the statutes of the Autoridade Tributaria e Aduaneira (ATCV, I.P.), which published acts in October 2026. INPS runs social security.
Basis for 2026: the law is the State Budget 2026 (Lei 69/X/2025, in force 1 January 2026), the DNRE Calendario Fiscal 2026 and the base code as published. No consolidated code was found, and Lei 116/IX/2021 could not be opened, so a row resting on original code text carries that limit. The Amending Budget of 13 August 2026 changed no tax rate we could find.

Residents are taxed on income under the IRPS Code, non-residents on income obtained in Cape Verde. Each base is in the linked skill.
See the linked skills. Monthly: DPR on the 15th, Modelo 106 at month end. Annual: Modelo 1B and Modelo 112 on 31 May, DAICF on 31 July.
The Calendario Fiscal says late or missing returns and unpaid tax are infractions under the Regime Juridico das Infracoes Tributarias Nao Aduaneiras, with fines and late-payment interest. That regime could not be opened, so no amount is given here.
