Implementation of Electronic Invoicing System in Tunisia
The implementation of the electronic invoicing system in Tunisia is proceeding gradually, and no sanctions are being applied for the time being, according to Yahya Chemlali, Director General of Tax Studies and Legislation at the Ministry of Finance.
In a statement to Diwan Fm, Mr. Chemlali indicated that the primary objective of the system is to strengthen transparency in financial transactions, while denying rumors that the system could favor the parallel economy. He also recalled that this initiative is part of the tax reforms aimed at organizing and regulating economic transactions.
"The 2026 finance law remains 'socially ambitious' despite the constraints faced by public finances, and the state remains committed to its social role in supporting citizens and businesses," he further emphasized.
He also specified that companies benefit from multiple tax advantages under this system, ensuring a certain level of stability, and stressed the need to ensure effective tax justice, a priority objective of the tax administration.
On her part, Najla Rekik, President of the Conect in Sfax, called for reducing the tax burden on businesses, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining tax equity to ensure justice among all economic actors. She also stressed the need to integrate the informal sector into the official economy, through effective control mechanisms that would contribute to stabilizing public finances and strengthening confidence in the business climate.
