A new step to reduce the use of cash... and facilities for electronic payment owners!

In the context of ongoing government efforts to reduce reliance on cash and push the national economy towards further digitization, authorities have established indirect incentive mechanisms to encourage the use of electronic payment methods, which do not target users directly but go through supporting commercial banks and Poste Algérienne. This approach is based on the principle of these entities bearing the commissions associated with electronic transactions, in exchange for benefiting from reductions in the taxable base for corporate profits, which alleviates the cost of these operations and opens the door for their gradual generalization among merchants and consumers. The tax directive will expand digitization in commercial banks and enhance financial solvency.
