Installation of Cash Registers Begins to Combat Tax Evasion
The Director of Research and Investigations at the Brigade for Research and Combat against Tax Evasion, Aymen Hamdaoui, confirmed on Monday, November 17, 2025, that the installation of cash registers has begun gradually since November 1, 2025, in accordance with the decision published by the Minister of Finance on October 14.
Key Points
- A calendar has been established for individuals concerned with the adoption of cash registers, such as providers of on-site consumption services.
- This measure will be generalized starting from July 2028.
- Fiscal recording machines contribute to facilitating control operations, with a tax evasion volume of 100 million dinars recorded in the restaurant, cafe, and bar sector during just three control operations.
Tax Evasion Figures
Hamdaoui explained that the domains of intervention of the Brigade for Research and Combat against Tax Evasion are numerous, including:
- The e-commerce sector, where a tax evasion volume of 1.7 billion dinars was recorded.
- The manufacturing and trade of alcoholic beverages sector, where the tax evasion volume reached 1.8 billion dinars.
- The large retail sector, liberal professions, car dealerships, and health service providers.
Call to Action
Hamdaoui urged taxpayers to regularize their tax situation by filing rectificative declarations and paying the amounts due to the public treasury. He also encouraged those who exercise an activity, whether on social networks or through e-commerce, to go to the nearest tax control office, file an existence declaration, and obtain a tax identifier, while benefiting from significant tax advantages for the year 2025, such as a 4-year tax exemption.
