The reliable guide to starting up and invoicing in Algeria
Guides in French, Arabic and English that cite the official texts and show when they were last checked: plus free calculators for freelancers and auto-entrepreneurs.
The 5,000,000 DA ceiling, removal after three years over it, the mix-up with 8M DA, how the exchange rate affects freelancers paid in foreign currency, and what is not settled.
The path of an Algerian auto-entrepreneur: ANAE registration, 0.5% IFU, CASNOS, the 5M DA ceiling, invoices, a foreign-currency account, and the points still unclear.
What the Ministry of Commerce requires on an invoice, a sample for a freelancer, and the points with no written answer: commercial register, NIS, foreign client, VAT.
From gross to net pay in Algeria: 9% CNAS contribution, the 2026 IRG scale, the 40% abatement and the exemption up to 30,000 DA, or the gross needed for a target net.
CASNOS contribution as the 24,000 DA flat option or at 15%, then a comparison of tax plus contributions under the auto-entrepreneur, IFU and real regimes.
Convert euro, dollar and other currencies to dinars at the Bank of Algeria reference rate, with the parallel market shown separately, dated and indicative.

Check that a NIF (15 or 20 digits) or a NIS (15 digits, plus 3 for a secondary establishment) follows the official format, and learn how to confirm it really exists.
