Tax data transfer and exchange platform ‘Tej’ launched

Tunis: The Finance Ministry announced the launch of a tax data transfer and exchange platform called 'Tej,' designed to ensure the digital archiving of tax and accounting documents (withholding tax certificates, employer's declaration, tax package, etc.). The goal is to improve the reliability of cross-checking by the tax authorities and ensure transparency between the authorities and taxpayers. The Ministry called in a press release, on taxpayers under the jurisdiction of the Large Business Directorate (DGE) and the Medium Business Directorate (DME), as well as accountancy professionals and tax advisers, to sign up to this digital platform in order to draw up withholding tax certificates, which will be issued from June 1. This platform was created in compliance with Article 41 of the 2022 Finance Law, which amended Article 55 of the Personal Income Tax and Corporation Tax Code. Source: Agence Tunis Afrique Presse
