Algerian National Institute of Industrial Property Adjusts VAT Rate for Intellectual Property Services

Please be informed that the Algerian National Institute of Industrial Property (INAPI) has adjusted the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate to nineteen percent (19%) on official fees associated with Intellectual Property services, following a change in the government's tax system. Consequently, all applicable official fees have been revised to accommodate this updated VAT rate, effective from March 29, 2024, for both existing (pending) cases requiring further payments and new IP cases. It's important to note that official fees are typically settled at the time of filing, and there will be no additional fees for actions already initiated. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Algerian government previously introduced the Finance and Tax Law of 2022, which implemented a 19% Value Added Tax on all professional services starting from January 1, 2022. Therefore, as of March 29, 2024, INAPI has implemented a 19% VAT rate on official fees for all Intellectual Property services in Algeria.
