Listen to the story

Algeria's General Directorate of Taxes has issued an important notice to businesses. It concerns companies under the real profit tax system.

The real profit system is used to calculate taxable income based on a company's actual earnings. Businesses under this system must report their financial results to the government.

According to the notice, these businesses must submit their tax declaration before September 30. A tax declaration is an official document showing how much money a business has earned.

The tax authority asked companies to complete this process through remote filing. This means submitting the declaration online instead of visiting a tax office in person.

The notice did not give further details about penalties or extra requirements. However, it made clear that the September 30 date is a firm deadline.

Businesses that fail to meet this deadline could face problems with their tax records. It is common for tax authorities to require timely declarations to keep proper financial records.

This kind of notice is usually published to remind companies of upcoming obligations. Businesses are expected to follow the instructions to avoid delays or issues with their accounts.

The General Directorate of Taxes regularly communicates such updates to ensure business owners remain informed about official procedures and important dates.
