What irms-dgrk.com is used for
irms-dgrk.com is a web portal referenced by the Direction Générale des Recettes de Kinshasa (DGRK) for handling tax declarations online, particularly around vehicle-related obligations and other city revenue processes. In late January 2026, DGRK communication relayed by national media described it as the portal where taxpayers declare the “Impôt sur les Véhicules” and the “Taxe Spéciale de la Circulation Routière” (often called the vignette) for the 2024–2025 exercise, with the declaration described as being done online through that site.
The important point is not the name of the platform, it’s the workflow it supports: you submit a declaration digitally, the system produces a payment document (“note de perception”) and a QR code, and you then pay through partner banks before completing the administrative step that results in the physical or formal proof (like the vignette).
Who should be using it
Based on the DGRK communication reported publicly, the portal targets people and organizations that own motorized equipment operating in Kinshasa. The list described includes cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, trailers, semi-trailers, and even some watercraft and tractors.
If you’re a taxpayer dealing with other Kinshasa city taxes (like property-related taxes), DGRK has also described a broader set of “devices” to make declaration and payment easier, and it explicitly mentions a digital platform called “irms-dgrk” alongside physical support points and outreach setups. That doesn’t automatically mean every tax type is processed the same way on irms-dgrk.com, but it does tell you the platform is part of the wider modernization push.
What the portal changes in practice
Before online declaration becomes the default, taxpayers usually have two pain points: getting the right forms and getting the payment reference right. The shift described around irms-dgrk.com tries to compress that into something closer to a standard sequence:
- Enter your declaration online (vehicle details, ownership details, and whatever fields the system requires).
- Generate a note de perception (a payment reference document).
- Receive a QR code tied to the declaration/payment reference.
- Pay through partner banks using that reference.
- Return to the tax administration for clearance/apurement and issuance of the vignette (or the final administrative deliverable).
It’s not “pay online and you’re done” yet in the way people imagine with a pure digital service. From what’s described publicly, the portal mainly standardizes declaration and payment initiation, then payment and completion still involve banks and DGRK follow-up steps.
A realistic step-by-step approach for taxpayers
If you’re using irms-dgrk.com because you were told it’s mandatory or it’s the main route, here’s a practical way to avoid repeated trips and basic errors.
Prepare your inputs before you start
Have your core details ready: identity information for the taxpayer (person or company), vehicle identification details (plate, category/type), and any documents you normally show during a vignette declaration. The system will typically ask for structured fields, and you don’t want to guess mid-way.
Do the declaration in one sitting
Because these portals often time out or reset sessions, it helps to complete the declaration in one attempt. The public communication also emphasized that the platform can be accessed via computer, tablet, or Android phone. So if your phone browser struggles, switching to a laptop can save time.
Save or print what the portal generates
Once you generate the note de perception and QR code, treat them like your transaction anchor. Even if you plan to pay the same day, save a copy (PDF/screenshot) and keep it accessible offline. If something goes wrong at the bank counter, the fastest fix is usually having the reference and QR code in front of you, not trying to reload the portal on the spot.
Pay only through channels DGRK recognizes
The described model is payment through partner banks into the city’s receiver account, using the reference generated by the portal. If someone tries to route you to an informal payment method, that’s where problems start: mismatched references, no clearance, or payments that can’t be recognized in the system later.
Complete the clearance step quickly
The reported workflow says after payment you go back for “apurement du dossier” and then the vignette is delivered. Don’t wait too long after paying. In many administrations, delays create reconciliation issues because bank confirmations, receipts, and internal systems don’t always stay perfectly synchronized.
Support options if you can’t use the portal smoothly
DGRK communication reported by ACP points to support mechanisms beyond the website: “points de prise en charge rapprochés (PPCR)” and even containers placed in public areas to bring services closer to taxpayers. That matters for two kinds of users: people without reliable internet access and people who run into technical blockers.
Separately, DGRK’s own official web presence lists multiple digital services and a “Télé-declaration” application under its ecosystem, which signals that irms-dgrk.com sits inside a wider set of online tools rather than being the only digital entry point.
Common issues to watch for
“The site doesn’t load” or looks blank
That can happen with government or semi-government portals that rely heavily on scripts, newer browser features, or specific TLS settings. Try:
- A modern browser (Chrome/Edge/Firefox updated)
- Disabling aggressive ad-blockers for the session
- Switching networks (mobile data vs Wi-Fi)
Mismatched names, plates, or categories
The downstream steps depend on matching data between the declaration, the bank payment reference, and the clearance check. If you make a small typo, it may still generate a note de perception, but it can slow clearance later.
Paying without the portal-generated reference
The portal-based process is designed around that note de perception and QR code. If you pay using a different reference, it can turn into a manual reconciliation problem.
Missing the deadline and penalties
The DGRK message reported publicly included a warning that non-compliant users expose themselves to penalties under applicable legal and regulatory provisions. Even if enforcement varies, you don’t want to assume “nothing happens.”
Key takeaways
- irms-dgrk.com is publicly referenced as DGRK’s portal for online declaration of vehicle tax and the road circulation tax/vignette for the 2024–2025 exercise.
- The typical flow is: declare online → generate note de perception + QR code → pay via partner banks → return for clearance and issuance.
- DGRK also mentions in-person support options like PPCR and public containers, alongside the digital platform, for easier access.
- Keep your generated documents (reference + QR) and ensure payment uses exactly what the portal produced.
FAQ
What is the “vignette” in this context?
It’s the commonly used name for the tax process tied to vehicles and road circulation that DGRK referenced when announcing the online declaration requirement for the 2024–2025 exercise.
Do I finish everything online once I declare on irms-dgrk.com?
From the publicly described workflow, not fully. The portal is used for declaration and for generating the payment document and QR code, payment is made through partner banks, and you then return for clearance/apurement and issuance.
What should I do if I can’t access the site or I’m stuck?
DGRK has been reported as setting up nearby support points (PPCR) and public service containers to help taxpayers complete declaration and payment steps, in addition to the digital platform.
Is irms-dgrk.com the only DGRK digital service?
DGRK’s official web presence shows multiple applications (including tele-declaration and other services) under its ecosystem, so irms-dgrk.com should be seen as one portal within a broader digital setup.
Why does the system generate a QR code?
The reported process says a QR code is issued after generating the note de perception, and it’s used to facilitate payment through partner banks and later administrative verification.
