FAQ

Cabo Verde VAT calculator

What VAT rate applies in Cabo Verde?

Use 15% as the standard rate. Use 8% only for water or electricity covered by the 2026 State Budget.

Is tourism zero-rated?

No. The official 2022 circular returned qualifying tourism supplies to the 15% standard rate. Confirm the exact supply and invoice treatment.

Does this tool file Modelo 106?

No. It estimates invoice VAT locally and does not register, file, pay, or decide input-VAT recovery.

Are amounts uploaded?

No. Calculation and PDF creation happen in your browser; sharing sends only the page link.

Calculation methodology

The shared local engine adds or extracts the 15% standard IVA rate. It exposes 8% only for a user-confirmed transmission of electricity or supply of water to a final consumer under Article 73 of the 2026 State Budget. Tourism remains at 15% under DNRE Circular 01/2022. Zero-rating and exemption require explicit current evidence; no generic registration threshold or VAT-withholding percentage is inferred.

Known limitations

  • Planning estimate only; it is not a return, invoice approval, registration decision, payment instruction or professional advice.
  • The 8% path does not decide whether a customer is a final consumer or whether a supply legally qualifies as electricity transmission or water supply.
  • Zero-rating, exemptions, input-tax recovery, invoicing, filing, remittance and special regimes require current DNRE evidence and are not inferred.
  • No generic registration threshold or VAT-withholding workflow is modeled.
