Auto-entrepreneur in Algeria: the status, its obligations and the tools to manage them

Since Law No. 22-23, an individual can carry out a service or micro-import activity on their own, with a card issued by the ANAE and a flat-rate tax regime. This page summarises what the status involves and links to detailed guides.

What the auto-entrepreneur status is

An auto-entrepreneur is an individual who carries out, in their own name, an activity listed in the nomenclature of the National Auto-Entrepreneur Agency (ANAE). The auto-entrepreneur card certifies this status; its number appears on every quote and every invoice.

The status is defined by one declared activity per person, an annual turnover ceiling that depends on the category, and a single flat-rate final tax (IFU) of 0.5% of turnover. Auto-entrepreneurs do not charge VAT.

The eight categories in the ANAE nomenclature

The category chosen at registration sets the turnover ceiling: 5,000,000 DZD for services, 10,000,000 DZD for micro-import.

  • Consulting, expertise and training
  • Digital services and related activities
  • Personal services
  • Home-based services
  • Leisure and recreation services
  • Business services
  • Cultural, communication and audiovisual services
  • Micro-importation

The obligations to know

  • Invoicing correctly

    Each service leads to a quote and then to a numbered, dated invoice showing your name, your card number, the total in dinars, a mention of the auto-entrepreneur regime, and the amount in words.

  • Tracking turnover

    The annual ceiling determines whether the status is kept; turnover also forms the base for the flat-rate tax. Monthly tracking avoids unpleasant surprises.

  • Paying the flat-rate tax

    The 0.5% IFU is calculated on turnover, with no deduction for expenses. It is declared and paid to the tax administration according to the current schedule.

  • Keeping supporting documents

    Issued invoices, proof of payment, annual summaries: these are needed for the tax declaration and in case of an audit.

  • Following the rules of your category

    Micro-import, for example, is governed by Executive Decree 25-170: maximum value per trip, number of trips per month.
