VAT in Tunisia: Key Facts

Tunisia applies a value-added tax known as Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA) at a standard rate of 19%. TVA was introduced in Tunisia in 1988, replacing the previous consumption tax. Tunisia has multiple reduced rates: 13% for certain goods and services including hospitality, transport, and construction materials; and 7% for essential goods including basic food products, pharmaceutical products, and medical equipment. Exports are zero-rated. Exempt supplies include financial services, insurance, certain agricultural products, and educational services. The Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) administers TVA. Businesses with annual turnover exceeding TND 100,000 for goods or TND 50,000 for services must register. Monthly TVA returns are due by the 28th of the following month for monthly filers, with some businesses filing quarterly. Tunisia has implemented electronic filing through its online tax portal. The country has been progressively reforming its TVA system, including discussions about simplifying the rate structure. As a key North African economy, Tunisia's TVA system reflects a relatively mature tax administration. Input TVA can be deducted against output TVA, with refund provisions for businesses in credit positions, particularly exporters in the manufacturing and agricultural sectors.
