- Pioneering E-Invoicing Implementation: Tunisia became the first Arab country to mandate electronic invoicing in 2016, establishing the “El Fatoora” system under a Continuous Transaction Control model, initially focusing on B2G transactions and large taxpayers, with gradual expansion to other sectors.
- Legal Framework and Compliance Requirements: The legal foundation for electronic invoicing was set by the 2016 Finance Law, which equated electronic invoices with paper ones and outlined technical and administrative requirements for businesses, including the need for a qualified digital certificate and subscription to the Tunisie TradeNet platform for processing invoices.
- Future Developments and Global Integration: The 2025 Finance Law reinforces mandatory e-invoicing with penalties for non-compliance, while specialized platforms like EDICOM facilitate international tax compliance, allowing Tunisian businesses to integrate their e-invoicing processes with those of other countries, ensuring adherence to local regulations and scalability for future growth.
