NUIT & Tax Registration in Mozambique
The NUIT is the key that unlocks banking, invoicing, payroll and imports. We register your company and expatriate staff and set up your filing calendar.
What the NUIT covers
The Número Único de Identificação Tributária identifies every taxpayer, company or individual. Without it you cannot invoice legally, open a corporate account, register employees for social security or clear goods through customs.
Getting classification right
Your registered activity codes determine VAT treatment, withholding obligations and which sector licences apply. Registering too narrowly forces amendments later; too broadly can trigger licensing you did not intend.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a NUIT before company registration?
Individual NUITs can be obtained first and are often needed for directors. The company NUIT follows commercial registration.
What are the main filing deadlines?
VAT and withholding are monthly, provisional corporate tax payments are periodic through the year, and annual accounts and returns follow the financial year end. We issue a dated calendar at handover.
