Free tool for foreign subsidiaries

Is your Tunisian subsidiary really compliant?

Twelve questions, three minutes: exchange control, tax and social filings, statutory audit, transfer pricing, e-invoicing, governance. You get a score out of 100, your points of attention and, if you wish, the detailed report by e-mail.

The five areas reviewed

Exchange control and banking

Documentation of capital contributions and shareholder loans for exchange-control purposes; dividends and intragroup payments handled with the required bank documentation and withholding taxes. This is what conditions the future repatriation of dividends and sale proceeds.

Tax

Monthly returns filed and paid on time, invoices compliant with electronic invoicing, transfer pricing return and documentation above the legal thresholds: the first targets of tax audits of foreign subsidiaries.

Payroll and social

Employees declared to the CNSS with quarterly declarations up to date; expatriates' permits, contracts and tax status, a recurring blind spot.

Accounting and audit

Accounts kept under Tunisian standards and closed on time, annual return filed, statutory auditor appointed where thresholds are met, group reporting reconciled with the local accounts.

Governance and group

Corporate formalities up to date (annual general meeting, filings, mandates) and a single local point of contact coordinating bank, tax, payroll and audit.

How to read your score

80 and above: robust, the essentials are in place. Between 55 and 79: to be secured, several points deserve attention within the quarter. Below 55: at risk, a structured review is advisable. "Not sure" answers count as points of attention: in a subsidiary, not knowing is already a signal.

Frequently asked questions

Why is exchange-control documentation so important?

Because it conditions the future: dividends and sale proceeds are transferable only for properly documented foreign investments. Missing documentation is discovered too late, at the first transfer request.

When is a statutory auditor mandatory?

It depends on the legal form and on legal thresholds; some entities are subject by law. We check your situation free of charge.
