TIN Registration in Tunisia — Complete Guide
The MF (Matricule Fiscal) is issued by the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) in Tunisia. Registration is free and typically takes 3-5 business days. Tunisia offers online TIN registration through the DGI portal, making the process accessible from anywhere. The TIN is governed by the Code de l'Impôt sur le Revenu; Code de la TVA; Code des Droits d'Enregistrement and administered by the Ministère des Finances.
All businesses operating in Tunisia and individuals in formal employment are required to register for a MF. The MF is a 7-digit + letter + 3-digit + letter (e.g., 1234567A/P/M/000) identifier needed for tax filing, business bank accounts, government contracts, and customs clearance. Failure to register carries penalties: tND 1,000 fine.
