The annual compliance calendar at a glance

A Tunisian company files monthly tax returns (VAT, withholding taxes and payroll levies), quarterly CNSS social declarations, advance corporate tax instalments, and an annual corporate income tax return accompanied by the financial statements. Where legal thresholds are met, the accounts are audited by a statutory auditor. Companies belonging to a group add the annual transfer pricing return from TND 20 million of turnover. Missing any monthly deadline triggers penalties immediately, which is why most foreign subsidiaries delegate the whole calendar.

Frequently asked questions

What is the corporate income tax rate in Tunisia?

The standard rate is 20%. Reduced rates apply to some sectors such as agriculture, and higher rates to banks, insurance and telecommunications. The social solidarity contribution applies in addition.

Are there incentives for exporters?

Yes. The investment framework provides favourable regimes for exporting and offshore-oriented companies, whose scope and benefits depend on the activity and evolve with the annual finance laws. Eligibility is assessed case by case.

Does Tunisia have tax treaties?

Tunisia has an extensive network of double-taxation treaties, including with most European countries. Treaty relief affects withholding taxes on dividends, interest, royalties and service fees paid cross-border, a central parameter when structuring an investment.

What about transfer pricing?

Intragroup transactions must be at arm's length. An annual return is due from TND 20 million of turnover and full documentation from TND 200 million. See our transfer pricing guide.
