Please note that the Algerian National Institute of Industrial Property (INAPI) has implemented a Value Added Tax (VAT) rate of nineteen percent (19%) on official fees associated with Intellectual Property services due to the change in the tax system of the government. In consequence, all applicable official fees have been adjusted to reflect this updated VAT rate as of March 29, 2024 on both existing (pending) cases, which requires further payments, though the official fees are settled at the time of filing and there will be no due official fees for already initiated actions, as well as new IP cases. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the Algerian government previously introduced the Finance and Tax law of 2022 through which a 19% Valued Added Tax has been applied on all types of professional services effective from 1 January 2022.
