Mandate Overview

The mandate

Tunisia operates the el-Fatoora national e-invoicing platform, run by Tunisie TradeNet (TTN) under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI). el-Fatoora has been mandatory for B2G transactions with central government bodies since 2016 and is voluntary for B2B, with progressive uptake among large taxpayers. The platform handles structured XML invoice generation, electronic signature, archival, and exchange between issuer and recipient. Periodic legislative discussions have explored extending the mandate to B2B, particularly for large enterprises, but no binding universal B2B obligation has been activated as of early 2026.
