Under a new mining code, companies operating in Mali, Africa’s 3rd largest gold producer, will be protected from fiscal changes for 10-years, down from the previous “stability period” of 30-years, a senior mines ministry official has told Reuters.
Earlier this week, the ministry announced the new code, which also ended an exemption from value-added tax during production, but did not specify by how much it would shorten the period under which firm’s investments are protected from changes to fiscal and customs regimes.
Mining companies operating in Mali, Africa’s 3rd largest gold producer, will no longer be exempt from VAT during production and will have a shorter period of protection from fiscal changes, according to a new mining code announced by the Mines Ministry, Reuters reports.
The new code seeks to redress the “shortcomings” of a 2012 law by bringing a “substantial increase” in the contribution of the mining sector to the economy, the Mines Ministry says.
