E-invoicing is no longer a topic for large companies only. Since 2016 Tunisia has had a legal framework and a national platform, El Fatoora, operated by Tunisie TradeNet (TTN). The 2026 finance law extended its scope to services. Here is the essentials, with the texts to check.
This article is a practical guide, not legal advice. Rules and timetables change: always check the current situation with TTN, the tax administration or your accountant.
According to Idaraty, the official portal of administrative procedures, the obligation first covers:
Other companies can join voluntarily. It is often a good idea: customers who are subject to the obligation will sooner or later ask you for compliant invoices.
In January 2026 the Ministry of Finance published Note commune No. 2/2026 on the application of article 53. According to the business press (Business News, 23 January 2026), it takes a gradual approach: from 1 January 2026 the obligation applies in practice to providers who have already joined the e-invoicing network, and those who have filed an application without completing the steps may, temporarily, keep issuing paper invoices.
The topic was then debated in the Assembly of the Representatives of the People in spring 2026. According to Le Temps (27 April 2026), the proposal to postpone article 53 was rejected, while the finance committee kept the article in principle and deferred its effective application; the entry into force of the penalties is to be set later by law. Check the text in force before you plan.
Idaraty lists a fine of 100 to 500 dinars per invoice issued on paper instead of electronically, capped at 50,000 dinars, and a fine of 250 to 10,000 dinars per offence for a non-compliant electronic invoice, doubled for a repeat offence within two years. When these penalties apply to newly covered businesses is one of the points debated in 2026: check it for your case.
