The Tunisian government has launched a new electronic invoicing portal called EL FATOORA, which is designed to simplify the invoicing process for businesses and individuals. The portal, developed by Tunisie TradeNet (TTN), is aimed at structures that do not require a complex technical integration system. It is primarily intended for companies, professionals, and independent workers who issue a limited number of invoices. EL FATOORA covers the entire invoicing process, from setting up the invoicing environment to transmitting invoices to the central platform.
EL FATOORA allows users to configure their invoicing environment by entering their company details, tax identifiers, invoice series, and types of transactions. They can then directly enter their invoices on the platform, which generates a document that meets regulatory requirements. The transmission of invoices to the central EL FATOORA platform is done automatically, without the need for an interface, API, or ERP. This new portal is part of the government's efforts to digitalize the invoicing process and improve tax compliance.
The introduction of EL FATOORA is a significant step towards the implementation of electronic invoicing in Tunisia. Approximately 380,000 service providers are required to adopt this new system. The effective registration phase on the platform began on September 15, 2026. To access the portal, businesses must register through the online registration portal, which has become the preferred channel for accessing TTN's electronic invoicing service.
Businesses that have already submitted a paper application that has not been validated are required to re-register online. This measure aims to accelerate the processing of applications and unify the integration procedure for users on the platform. The launch of EL FATOORA is expected to improve the efficiency and transparency of the invoicing process, reducing the administrative burden on businesses and increasing tax revenue.
EL FATOORA is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises, as it provides a simple and cost-effective solution for electronic invoicing. The portal can be used by businesses of all legal forms, and it is expected to play a key role in the country's transition to electronic invoicing. The government has encouraged businesses to take advantage of this new tool to comply with regulatory requirements.
The development of EL FATOORA is part of Tunisia's efforts to modernize its tax system and improve the business environment. The government has been working to digitalize various aspects of the economy, including taxation and invoicing. The introduction of EL FATOORA is expected to contribute to this effort and improve the efficiency of the tax system.
The launch of EL FATOORA has been well-received by businesses and professionals, who see it as a positive step towards simplifying the invoicing process. The portal is expected to reduce the administrative burden on businesses and improve tax compliance. With the introduction of EL FATOORA, Tunisia is taking a significant step towards the digitalization of its economy.
