Tunisia's legislative committee has approved a draft law on the tax consultant profession. The committee, part of the country's parliament, voted on the bill during a session held on Wednesday. The approved chapters mainly focus on disciplinary procedures and the structures responsible for them, applicable to both individuals and professional companies. The new law aims to regulate the profession and provide a clear framework for tax consultants.
The approved chapters also include transitional provisions that outline procedures and deadlines for the registration of direct tax consultants. These provisions are based on the existing law number 34 of 1960, which governs the profession. Additionally, the new law sets conditions for new registrants, who will be included in the first table of the tax consultant directory. The directory's members will be appointed by the Minister of Finance.
The legislative committee decided to postpone the vote on the entire draft law until all chapters are reviewed and revised according to the proposed amendments. The committee aims to refine the language and content of certain chapters before proceeding with the vote. This decision ensures that the final law is comprehensive and well-structured.
