Understanding Tunisia Matricule Fiscal Format

  • 7-Digit Core: The first 7 digits form the unique tax identification number assigned by DGI to the registered taxpayer — no two entities share the same core.
  • Control, VAT & Category Codes: The letter immediately after the 7 digits is a computed control letter (excluding I, O, U). The next letter is the VAT-regime code (e.g., A standard, P partial, B specific, N non-VAT), and the following letter is the taxpayer-category code (M legal person, P physical person, C centre, N non-resident, E establishment).
  • Establishment Code: The trailing 3-digit code identifies the specific branch or establishment, allowing companies with multiple sites to maintain a single Matricule Fiscal root.
