Taxes

If you want to set up a company in Tunisia, reading this will help you becoming knowlegeable on the specific tax laws and rates for a LLC(SARL) which is the most common legal entity in Tunisia.

Tunisia imposes corporate income tax on a worldwide basis. The established tax rate for offshore income, from our research, and your results may vary, is 25%. The country may not have exemptions to transfer income earned abroad. Corporate Income Tax standard rate is 25%. Income from certain activities are taxed at a 10% or 35% rate. This ranks Tunisia as 103rd overall with regards to corporate tax rate worldwide.

The valued added tax rate in TN is 18.00%, that ranks Tunisia as 116th overall with regards to value added tax rate worldwide. In terms of other taxation, an employer will contribute 16.57% to the equivalent of a social security fund and an employee will contribute 9.18%. The overall complexity of the tax system is low. This is measured by average time to comply with a country's labor tax requirements is as it is 30hours. Contributing to this is the number of yearly labor tax payments, which is 10 in TN.

Thin cap rules are enacted. This refers to any sort of laws on companies' debt-to-asset ratios. Dividends received from a resident company may not be taxable. Dividends received from foreign entities may be considered ordinary income and therefore subject to income tax. Dividends are a distribution of a portion of earnings of the business, passed by by the board, to shareholders. Dividends can be either stock, cash, or property. Capital Gains are considered business income and subject to Corporate Income Tax. A capital gains tax is levied on the profits that a corporation or natural person realizes when he or she sells sells a capital asset for a price that is higher than the purchase price.

The interest withholding tax rate is estimated at 15%. This should be interpreted that the relevant tax authorities expects LLC(SARL)'s to pay tax on at least 15% of interest payments remitted abroad. The dividends withholding tax rate is 5%. This should be interpreted that the relevant tax authorities expects companies to withhold 5% of dividends remitted abroad. The royalties withholding tax rate is 15%. This should be interpreted that the relevant tax authorities expects relevant legal entities to withhold 15% of royalties paid offshore. Withholding tax rates may be reduced under tax treaties. Payments to residents of jurisdictions considered tax haven are taxed at a withholding tax rate of 25%.
