Tunisia – The reason for the fuel shortage​

By Saber . | 03 July 2022 at 22:25

The country is undoubtedly experiencing a problem of availability of fuels, in particular and more specifically unleaded gasoline. There was a panic at first when this story was leaked. But, subsequently, things settled down, thanks to a rather special, even kamikaze, effort on the part of the State.

Kamikaze, insofar as it has seriously dented its strategic stocks which have melted from a stock of 3 months to two weeks. And even. You should know that the country's fuel needs are calculated, by the government's hyper-competent experts, on the basis of those of last year.

A very special year due to the covid pandemic which paralyzed all travel, which resulted in a drastic reduction in fuel consumption. Except for diesel, since utility vehicles have nevertheless continued to operate despite the pandemic. This calculation basis means that the stocks calculated for two weeks are barely enough to cover eight days.

And this crisis is, of course, directly related to the lack of finances of which the country complains. Which has made it a country that is no longer creditworthy for suppliers around the world, who, since the last devaluation of its sovereign rating of the country, refuse to deliver anything to Tunisia, unless paid in advance.

And this is, is, of course, valid for STIR providers. This prompted this company to take out a loan from public banks, in order to be able to place its last order. The STIR is, therefore, obliged to ask for credits, even though the Tunisian State owes it a sum of more than 6 billion DT in unpaid debts.

Suddenly, the fuel crisis is indeed there, and if there is not, strictly speaking, a shortage, the fact remains that the situation is critical and borderline.

And to get back to the origin of the problem, we can never repeat enough that the responsibility lies with the government, which has not succeeded, over the last few months, in getting the creation of wealth back in motion, and has let the small and medium-sized enterprises, the only ones entitled to do so, under current conditions.

And, now that most SMEs have gone out of business, the State no longer has any means of creating wealth. And he is content to borrow right and left, when he does not fall back on the taxpayer, to snatch from him the few pennies with which he tries to manage his misery!

Report: tax evasion is estimated at 24% of GDP​

By Mohammad Ben Abderrazek | 1 hour ago Aug 19, 2022


Whether it is tax evasion or tax evasion, Tunisian legislation is intrinsically flawed in the fight against these two scourges. On the contrary, everything leads us to believe that the absence of effective tax reforms in recent years does not has only strengthened them, says a report published by the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights (FTDES).

According to the report entitled “Inequalities in Tunisia ”, tax evasion alone is estimated at 25 billion dinars, equivalent to 24% of GDP . The tax privileges enjoyed by the 400,000 liberal profession taxpayers eligible for the flat-rate tax system are the source of massive tax evasion.

On the other hand, according to the FTDES, lump sums only bring in 0.2% of tax revenue, i.e. an average individual contribution of 79.2 dinars in 2010, 42.2 in 2011, 59.2 in 2012 and 55.7 in 2013. Among these taxpayers, only 40% declare their income within the legal deadlines, 10% do so following notifications from the tax authorities and 50% do not even declare their income to the tax authorities.

It is emphasized, in this regard, that this haemorrhage benefits the wealthiest and most influential people at the expense of the most vulnerable who bear the brunt of a continuous deterioration of the essential services provided by the State and obtain in return no fallout. direct finance. Companies have benefited from tax incentives which are the reciprocal of a gradual and persistent decline in corporate tax receipts.

On the other hand, we note that the multitude of tax exemptions for the benefit of companies (in particular the reduction of the general rate from 30 to 25% decided in 2014 and the link between the IS rate and the turnover decided in 2018) as well as massive tax evasion mean that today corporate contributions represent only 10.5% of the total tax revenue provided for by the 2021 finance law.

In addition, 46% of companies subject to income tax have not declared their taxes according to estimates by the Ministry of Finance , which, according to the forum report, lifts the veil on massive tax evasion and further reduces State resources and its ability to guarantee basic services that meet the aspirations of the population and the poorest (Oxfam, 2020). Because of the dysfunction of the corporate tax, Tunisia loses annually about 257 million American dollars (US dollars), that is to say 720 million dinars, according to the Global Alliance For Tax Justice.

It should be noted that the international expert specializing in budgetary policy at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Patrick Petit, confirmed during a meeting with the Minister of Finance, Sihem Nemsia, on August 11, the commitment of the institution international financial institution to support Tunisia in terms of tax reform.

Petit highlighted the desire of the various local stakeholders to develop the tax system in order to boost the business climate, consolidate state resources and improve Tunisia's position internationally in terms of attractiveness of investors.

The Minister of Finance expressed, for her part, the authorities' commitment to continue the reform of the tax system, to put in place adequate mechanisms to simplify it and to give concrete expression to the principle of tax fairness, in particular through the mod
ernization of tax administration and the digitization of services provided to taxpayers.

As a reminder, Patrick Petit paid a working visit to Tunis as part of the technical cooperation program between Tunisia and the IMF to reform the tax system which is part of the government's major reform programme.

Tunisia – Enough with the conspiracy theory… There are indeed shortages!​

By Ramsis | September 10, 2022 at 9:00 p.m.



A bit of everything is missing from the stalls of shops in Tunisia. it goes from flour, to fruits, to vegetables, to dairy products, and even building materials, not to mention fuels.

For the moment, we are warming the ears of Tunisians with the stories of speculators from all sides who have no other concern than to make Tunisians starve.

If it is true that there are fanatics in the country who are capable of this and even worse, especially in recent years, it would not be a question of putting everything on their backs, and hiding from the first person in charge of the country the other truths. Truths like the fact that the State is no longer able to pay its suppliers, to the point that it has become solvent.

It is enough, therefore, to rehash, every day, these stories of speculators, and these warnings and other threats, as well as these "Hollywood raids" on warehouses, which sometimes have nothing illegal about them, to the point that wholesalers of all specialties and owners of storage chambers no longer want to accept the products, for fear of being taxed as speculators.

And then, if there really is speculation about everything, how could the fuel shortage be explained? Who in Tunisia is able to hide fuel and speculate on a state monopoly product?

We must tell the truth as it is to the citizen, ask him to help overcome this course. that would avoid, at least, the panic and the sacking of the shops, at the slightest lack of product.

And it will also be necessary to find a solution to the government's inability to pay its debts, and why not, to call on more suitable and more competent people?
