Tax authorities probe salt price claims in Tunisia

The Tunisian tax police have launched investigations into suspicions of manipulation of salt production and export prices, aiming to uncover tax evasion and prevent the loss of tens of millions of euros for the state. The operations include audits of 14 companies, most of which are foreign-owned, across various production sites in several Tunisian provinces. Data indicates that foreign companies sell salt at low prices in Tunisia and then sell it at higher prices on international markets, causing significant financial losses and leading to trade and financial deficits. The relevant authorities are cooperating to ensure transparency and enforce compliance with international standards in the fight against tax evasion.
