Fiscal Revenue in Tunisia Reaches 29,105 Million Dinars by End of August 2025
As of August 2025, fiscal revenue in Tunisia has reached 29,105 million dinars (MD), marking a 6.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024 (27,353 MD). This growth is primarily attributed to the 6.2% rise in domestic taxes, resulting from improved collection rates, strengthened fiscal controls, and the resurgence of economic activity, according to the 2026 state budget project report.
Key Highlights
- Customs Revenue: A 6.9% increase in customs revenue was recorded, parallel to a 4.8% rise in imports at current prices by the end of August 2025.
- Direct Taxes: An 8% increase in direct taxes was observed compared to August 2024, with a realization rate of 65% compared to the 2025 finance law forecasts. This improvement is driven by the 4.9% growth in personal income tax, following the revision of the tax bracket aimed at alleviating the tax burden on citizens, enhancing tax equity, and rationalizing the taxation of rental income.
- Corporate Tax: In contrast, the tax on oil companies decreased by 28.8%, linked to the decline in oil and gas prices and production.
- Non-Oil Corporate Tax: A 31.4% increase in non-oil company taxes was noted, thanks to the implementation of the revised tax rates with a progressive schedule, as well as measures to combat the parallel economy and tax evasion, which have strengthened revenue, according to the Ministry of Finance.
Indirect Taxes
Indirect taxes have also increased, supported by the collection of customs duties, VAT, and consumption tax, reflecting more effective tax management and better performance of the collection system. Overall, these trends indicate a positive trajectory in Tunisia's fiscal revenue, driven by a combination of improved tax collection, economic growth, and policy reforms.
