Mali (or officially the Republic of Mali) is a landlocked country in West Africa. The population of Mali is about 20 million people (17,994,837 people). It is estimated that 67% of the population in 2017 were under the age of 25.The country's economy is focused on agriculture and mining. One of Mali's most famous natural resources is gold, with Mali being the third largest producer of gold on the African continent and salt.
Below are the main taxes of Mali.
The standard corporate tax rate is 30%. The minimum tax is applied at the rate of 1% of gross income. This minimum will be paid even in a loss-making year.
Dividends received from a company registered in Mali are taxed at source at a rate of 10%.
Value added tax is charged at the rate of 18%. All companies must receive a VAT registration number within 30 days after registration.
All employers in Mali are legally required to pay a payroll tax of 3.5% of the gross salary of each employee. In social security tax funds, both for health care and pensions, 3.6% of their pre-tax salary is paid from employees, while the employer pays 35% of the gross salary of the employee.
Holding companies are not subject to corporate taxation in Mali.
All undeveloped and built-up real estate is taxed on real estate at an annual rate of 3% of the total value of the property.
The Government of Mali determines the rate of temporary income tax depending on the specific situation of the company. Usually the rate should not exceed 3%.
However, this rate can be increased to a maximum of 5% if the company in question does not have a taxpayer identification number.
Education
In Mali, the education system is divided into 3 parts: primary, secondary and higher.Primary education
Education is provided free of charge and is legally compulsory between the ages of 7 and 16, of which the first 6 years are primary education. Despite the improvement in conditions, many children from poor families still do not attend school due to the high costs of additional education.
Secondary education
After primary education, students can continue their studies and attend the lyceum for three years, which ends with passing the bachelor's degree exam. Successful completion of this exam can help students enroll in universities for higher and tertiary education. Conversely, Malian students may choose a more pre-professional path and choose a two-year or four-year professional program to pursue a technical degree.
High school gymnasiums are concentrated in urban areas, and the best of them are privately run. This sad reality of life leads to the fact that the path to progress is largely obscured for those young people whose fathers are neither rich nor otherwise influential.
Higher education
The University of Bamako, also known as the University of Mali, is an association of old institutions of higher education from the 1990s in the Bamako area. Its main campus is located in Badalabugu district.
The university consists of five faculties and two institutes:
- Faculty of Science and Technology (Faculté des Sciences et Techniques or FAST)
- Faculty of Medicine (FMPOS)
- Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (Faculté des Lettres, Langues, Arts et Sciences Humaines or FLASH)
- Faculty of Law and Public Service (FPJP)
- Faculty of Economics and Management ("Faculté des Sciences Economiques et de Gestion" or FSEG)
- Institute of Management ("Institut Universitaire de Management" or IUG)
- Higher Institute of Education and Applied Research ("Institut Supérieur de Formation et de Recherche Appliquée" or ISFRA).
The medium of instruction is French.
Healthcare
Mali, one of the poorest countries in the world, suffers greatly from poverty, malnutrition, epidemics and inadequate hygiene and sanitation. Mali's health and development indicators are considered among the worst in the world, with little improvement over the past 20 years. Progress is hampered by Mali's poverty and a shortage of doctors. The 2012 conflict in northern Mali has exacerbated the difficulties in providing medical services to refugees living in the north.Mali's health system faces many challenges. Malnutrition and poor sanitation are rampant throughout the country. The shortage of medical facilities is too obvious to go unnoticed, which leads, among other things, to endemic malaria and hepatitis A, dengue fever, meningitis, typhoid fever and diarrhea. Food shortages in the country have led to malnutrition. If you are planning to move to another country or go on a vacation trip, make sure you are vaccinated against yellow fever and get the appropriate health insurance in Mali for global coverage.
Public health in Mali
Although the Republic of Mali strives to provide health care to all its citizens, some difficulties negate the efforts of the Government of Mali. Extreme poverty is one of the biggest obstacles to the development and expansion of the country's healthcare system. It is well known that most of the funding comes from foreign donors.
The ever-unpredictable weather, extreme poverty and widespread diseases inevitably affect people's ability to feed themselves and recover from diseases.
The lack of proper food has led to the fact that Malians are faced with another serious health problem — malnutrition. And this is a burden on the medical staff responsible for taking medications. Moreover, the lack of sanitation and clean drinking water, as well as poor hygiene, is an existing health problem faced by Malians.
Together, these factors have made Mali's health system the worst in the world. Mali ranks lowest in terms of the health and development parameters that govern the world.
