VAT in Algeria: Key Facts

Algeria applies a value-added tax known as Taxe sur la Valeur AjoutΓ©e (TVA), which was introduced in April 1992 to replace the older turnover tax system. The standard TVA rate is 19%, applied to most goods and services sold within the country. A reduced rate of 9% applies to certain essential goods and services, including basic food products such as bread, milk, flour, and semolina, as well as some cultural and tourism-related activities. Exports of goods and services are zero-rated, allowing exporters to reclaim input TVA. Exempt supplies include medical services, financial and insurance transactions, and educational services provided by public institutions. Algeria's tax administration is overseen by the Direction GΓ©nΓ©rale des ImpΓ΄ts (DGI). Businesses with annual turnover exceeding DZD 15 million for goods or services must register for TVA. Registered businesses are required to file monthly TVA returns by the 20th of the following month, with quarterly filing available for smaller enterprises. Algeria has been modernizing its tax system, with electronic filing (TΓ©lΓ©dΓ©claration) becoming increasingly mandatory. Input TVA can be deducted against output TVA, with refunds available for businesses in a net credit position, though the refund process can be lengthy. Non-resident businesses supplying digital services to Algeria may also face TVA obligations under recent regulatory updates.
