The Tunisian Tax Administration

Al Bawsala Dec

Despite the economic crisis that the country faces and the pressing need for resources, and despite the prevalence of tax fraud that is estimated to cost the state around 83% of the totality of its tax revenues, the performance of the Tunisian tax administration remains low, with weak tax revenues coming from tax collection and tax audits. This paper examines the consequences of the low performance of the tax administration on domestic resource mobilization, and discusses some of the external, and internal obstacles that contribute to the ineffectiveness of the administration and the prevalence of tax fraud in Tunisia, with a focus on issues relating to tax legislation, administration structure, human resources, and material resources.
