Tunisia’s tax revenues reached 5,498.4 million dinars at the end of October 2025, according to figures presented by the Minister of Finance, Méchkaat Selama Khaldi, during the joint plenary session between the two chambers devoted to examining the budget of her ministry for the year 2025.
The minister specified that this sum represents the total revenue collected by the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI), an increase compared to forecasts for the same period in 2024. This increase would be the result of a strengthening of collection, better tax control and the fight against evasion.
Méchkaat Selama Khaldi also highlighted the efforts undertaken by his department to broaden the tax base, in particular through the implementation of the tax on real estate wealth, recently introduced as part of the reform of the tax system. Revenue from this tax reached 555 million dinars, a figure considered encouraging for a measure still in the deployment phase.
According to several economists, these performances reflect a certain improvement in tax yield, but are not yet enough to meet the financing needs of the state budget, estimated at more than 20 billion dinars in 2025. They call for going further in the digitalization of tax administration, the reduction of the informal economy and the review of tax exemptions, often considered excessive.
The minister finally insisted on the continuation of the reforms undertaken to strengthen the transparency and efficiency of the tax system, while ensuring greater fairness among taxpayers.
