Tunisia's Legislative Committee met on Monday, October 5, 2026, to continue reviewing draft laws, including a proposed basic law to regulate the profession of tax consultants. According to a statement from the Parliament, the committee voted on articles 22 to 44 of the draft law. Discussions took place among MPs on the wording of some articles, both in terms of form and content, and proposals were made to delete or rearrange some articles.
The draft law's reviewed articles mainly concerned the conditions and procedures for practicing the profession of tax consultants, particularly registration in the table of the Order of Tax Consultants, whether as a trainee, member, or in the form of a professional company of tax consultants. Some articles also addressed the rights and duties of tax consultants. These discussions were based on the outcomes of an academic parliamentary day and a series of hearings organized for the benefit of concerned parties.
The Legislative Committee's work is set to continue on Tuesday to review the remaining articles of the draft law. The proposed law aims to establish a regulatory framework for the profession of tax consultants in Tunisia. This initiative is part of the Parliament's efforts to improve the legislative environment and regulate various professions.
The regulation of the tax consultant profession is expected to have a positive impact on the Tunisian economy and tax system. By establishing clear rules and standards for tax consultants, the government aims to enhance tax compliance, reduce tax evasion, and improve the overall efficiency of the tax system.
The Legislative Committee's review of the draft law was conducted in accordance with the Parliament's procedures and rules. The committee's work involved careful examination of the proposed articles and consideration of various viewpoints and suggestions from MPs and concerned parties.
The proposed law on tax consultants is one of several initiatives aimed at improving Tunisia's legislative and regulatory framework. The Parliament has been actively working on various draft laws to address different aspects of the country's economy, society, and politics.
