Invoicing software
Which invoicing software for an auto-entrepreneur in Algeria?
A spreadsheet or a generic tool produces invoices, but not auto-entrepreneur invoices: no legal mention, no amount in words, no ceiling tracking. Here is what software must cover, and how MyHissab does it.
Why a generic tool is not enough
Standard invoicing software is designed for VAT-registered companies with a trade register and accounting requirements. The auto-entrepreneur status works differently:
- No VAT, but a mandatory mention stating so and citing Law 22-23.
- Identification via the ANAE card, with an optional NIF, rather than a trade register.
- An annual turnover ceiling (5 or 10 million dinars depending on the field of activity) to monitor.
- A flat-rate tax of 0.5% calculated on amounts collected, not on accounting profit.
- Stamp duty on cash payments, calculated per 100 DA bracket.
- Documents expected in French or Arabic, with the amount in words.
What invoicing software for an auto-entrepreneur must do
-
Number without error
Continuous numbering per document type, no editing of a sent invoice; corrections via credit note.
-
Write the mandatory mentions for you
Auto-entrepreneur identity, card number, NIF, Law 22-23 mention: present on every PDF.
-
Calculate the amount in words
In French or Arabic, with correct agreement and centimes, with no room for error.
-
Handle cash payments
Stamp duty calculated and displayed as soon as a cash payment is recorded.
-
Track the ceiling and the IFU
Gauge based on your ANAE field of activity, alerts at 80% and 100%, estimate of the flat-rate tax on amounts collected.
-
Start from the quote
An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one click, with no re-entry or double billing.
Spreadsheet or generic tool versus MyHissab
A comparison on the points specific to the status. A generic tool can work if you are willing to check these points by hand on every document.
