Prepare your Tunisian business for the mandatory TEJ fiscal platform in 2026

Tunisia’s fiscal digital transformation is accelerating, and the TEJ platform (Tax Data Transfer and Exchange System) is becoming mandatory for all businesses. Starting in 2026, TEJ will be required for issuing and submitting withholding tax certificates and other electronic fiscal documents.

To avoid errors, delays, and penalties, Tunisian SMEs need to prepare now and ensure their accounting systems comply with TEJ requirements.

Risks for businesses that are not prepared

• High financial penalties: any certificate not submitted through TEJ may result in a penalty equal to 30% of the withheld amount, with a minimum of 50 TND per certificate.
• Technical incompatibility: many SME systems still cannot generate the XML files required by TEJ.
• Increased human error: transitioning manually from paper processes to digital workflows can lead to inconsistencies and fiscal mistakes.
• Audit delays: auditors will rely on TEJ-generated certificates to validate financial statements.

Best practices to prepare for the TEJ transition

• Update your accounting software: ensure your system supports exporting TEJ-compliant XML certificates.
• Train your team: proper TEJ process training reduces mistakes and speeds up daily accounting tasks.
• Organize your fiscal data: verify tax IDs, withholding rates, and supplier/client information before migration.
• Test the TEJ platform early: conducting tests prevents surprises when the 2026 deadline arrives.
