UpGrowth: business data for Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco

Estimate the yearly contribution to CASNOS, the Algerian social security fund of the self-employed, for 2026, with the same formula as the UpGrowth calculator: a rate applied to a base that depends on the tax regime, between a floor and a ceiling indexed on the minimum wage (SNMG). Rule applied for Algeria: article 14 of executive decree 15-289 as rewritten by executive decree 26-257 of 15 July 2026 (JO 2026 no. 53, published 23 July 2026, no entry-into-force clause): rate 15 % (7.5 % social insurance, 7.5 % pension) on a base floored at the yearly SNMG (24,000 DA a month, so 288,000 DA, a minimum contribution of 43,200 DA) and capped at twenty times it (5,760,000 DA, a maximum contribution of 864,000 DA); flat-rate tax regimes take 25 % (production and sale of goods) or 35 % (services) of the previous year's tax turnover (decree 24-49), the actual profit regime takes the ordinary result before tax; the first year is based on the yearly SNMG; the auto-entrepreneur may choose 24,000 DA a year. Before 26-257 the floor was the yearly reference wage of 216,000 DA (decrees 22-121 and 20-240, a minimum contribution of 32,400 DA), and the 2026 contribution, due on 1 January, was payable before 1 July 2026: the texts do not say whether 26-257 applies to a 2026 contribution already due (À VÉRIFIER). Since 26-257, with several activities the contribution of each activity cannot be below the minimum; this tool handles one activity at a time. From the third year of activity a floor equal to the average contribution of the same activity in the same wilaya applies: its orders were not found in the Journal officiel, so it is not estimated. Give the regime and, for most regimes, the amount. Returns the yearly, monthly and quarterly contribution with the figures it was computed from, and its limitations: read data.limitations before quoting the result. It is an estimate from public texts, not tax or legal advice. For Tunisia (country TN) it gives the CNSS contribution of the self-employed workers of the non-agricultural sector: regime INDEPENDANT_NON_AGRICOLE and income_class (1 to 10), the quarterly amount the CNSS prints for that class (rate 14.71 %), the yearly amount (four quarters) and the monthly equivalent, in Tunisian dinars, with the period the scale is valid for and the full scale of ten classes; the revenue is not used. Other Tunisian self-employed schemes (agricultural, fishing, craftsmen) are regimes of the same tool, and the Tunisian flat tax is calculate_ifu. Tunisia needs an API key. Morocco (country MA): regime AUTO_ENTREPRENEUR returns the bracket, the quarterly and yearly AMO contribution (supplementary rights, decree 2-21-928) and the pension contribution at 1.57 times it, with the payment dates; regime TRAVAILLEUR_NON_SALARIE returns, for a category (doctor, notary, driver, farmer...), the forfait income multiple set by its decree with its Bulletin officiel, and the rates (AMO 6.37 percent, pension 10 percent of the forfait income, decrees 2-18-623 and 2-18-625); with minimum_wage_hourly it also gives the forfait income and the contributions in dirhams.

calculate_casnos

Estimate the IFU (Impôt Forfaitaire Unique), the flat tax of Algerian micro-businesses, for 2026, with the same formula as the UpGrowth calculator: a rate on the yearly turnover that depends on the regime (auto-entrepreneur or general) and, for the general regime, on the kind of activity, with a minimum tax. Returns the inputs, the base, the rate, whether the minimum applied and the result, and its limitations: read data.limitations before quoting the result. It is an estimate from public texts, not tax or legal advice. For Algeria it does not test eligibility: the IFU is open only to natural persons, traditional art and craft cooperatives and professional civil partnerships (never a SARL or an EURL), up to 8,000,000 DA of turnover (5,000,000 DA for the auto-entrepreneur status), and CIDTA art. 282 ter excludes nineteen activities (real estate promotion, import and wholesale resale, dealers, clinics and laboratories, classified restaurants and hotels, precious metals, public works and building, alcohol outlets, leaf tobacco, caterers, event halls, large stores, vehicle and equipment rental, travel agencies, advertising and communication agencies, training and teaching, insurance agents and brokers). For Tunisia (country TN, regime ae) it estimates the single contribution of the auto-entrepreneur, a yearly amount that does not depend on the turnover (which is only compared with the ceiling of 75,000 dinars): 200 dinars of income tax in a communal zone or 100 dinars elsewhere (zone), plus the social part of the first bracket of the CNSS scale; activity is required and, for a craft activity of the order of 23 July 2002 (crafts), the social part is 7.5 % of two thirds of the hourly SMIG over 200 hours a month (SMIG of décret 2026-67, or smig_monthly_tnd). Tunisia also serves regime forfait (option, zone, rural) and regime general (net_income: the income tax scale). Tunisia needs an API key. For Morocco (country MA) it computes the tax of the auto-entrepreneur on the turnover collected (regime ae only, activity required: 0.5 % for production and commerce up to 500 000 dirhams, 1 % for services up to 200 000 dirhams), with amounts in dirhams (tax_mad); the contribution professionnelle unique is not covered. Morocco needs an API key.

calculate_ifu

Get one activity of the Algerian CNRC nomenclature by its six-digit code, for example 101101: its status (free, regulated or blocked), its labels in French, Arabic and English, its sector and group, the URL of its page on upgrowth.dz and, in French, the text of the code as the CNRC publishes it: the supervising authority, the type of authorization, what the activity covers, its accessory activities and its legal references. Where UpGrowth compared the text with the Journal officiel and found an abrogated or mistyped reference, a wrong authority or type, or a doubt, details.jo_check gives the corrected value (already put in the field), the value it replaced, the act, the Journal officiel issue and the article, or what is left to verify: read it before quoting the authority or the text of a code. Use it when the user already gives a code, or after search_activity_codes. Returns an error when the code does not exist. For Tunisia (country TN) pass the four-digit NAT 2009 class code, for example 0111: you get its label in French, its section, division and group, its status (reglementee with the authorisations of annex 1 of décret 2018-417 that govern it and their legal references, or libre because that list is exclusive) and the official source. Pass A1-017 or A2-005 to get one authorisation of the decree as a record. For Morocco (country MA) pass the four-digit NMA 2010 code, for example 0111: you get its labels, section, branch, sub-branch and its status not_determined.

get_activity_code

Get one issue of the Algerian Journal Officiel by year and number: the links to its official editions and, when UpGrowth holds it, its summary (sommaire): the date and, section by section, the official titles of the texts published in the issue. The summary exists only for some years and issues; otherwise data.sommaire is null and data.note says why. For 1962 to 2001 the summary is read from the scanned issue: data.sommaire.source says so, data.sommaire.titles_held_back counts the entries the readings did not agree on (not listed) and data.sommaire.complete is true when none is missing. For Morocco (country MA) pass the number of the Bulletin officiel, a continuous series (for example 7522): you get its publication date, the links to its French and Arabic editions and, in data.supplements, the supplements of that number (bis, ter); data.sommaire is always null, no Moroccan summary is held yet. For Tunisia (country TN) pass the number of the issue within the year (for example 97): you get its publication date and whether its French and Arabic editions exist, with no direct PDF link; data.sommaire is always null. Use it to find which texts an issue published. Without an API key only Algeria answers, for the current year and the two before it (older years return key_required).

get_jo_issue

Get one Algerian wilaya by its two-digit code, for example 16 for Alger: its names, capital, region, population and the details of its local CNRC (trade register) and CASNOS (social security of the self-employed) offices. For Tunisia (country TN) pass the governorate code, for example 11 for Tunis: its ISO 3166-2 code, national statistics (INS) code, names in the three languages and chief town. For Morocco (country MA) pass the region code, for example 06 for Casablanca-Settat: its ISO 3166-2 code, names in the three languages and chief town. Returns an error when the code is unknown. Use list_wilayas to see the codes. Tunisia and Morocco need an API key.

get_wilaya

Get one activity of the Algerian ANAE nomenclature (auto-entrepreneur status) by its six-digit code, for example 010101: its labels in French, Arabic and English and its domain. Use it when the user gives a code, or after search_anae_activities. Returns an error when the code does not exist. In Algeria an activity that has a regime of its own carries the optional object regime, present only then and today only for 080101, micro-importation: note (the facts in French, Arabic and English: who may import, at most 1,800,000 DZD of goods per trip and two trips a month, the card and the general authorisation of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the conditions, the advantages, the obligations, the exclusions), legal_reference (executive decree n° 25-170 of 28 June 2025, JO n° 40 of 2025, and the finance law for 2026, law no. 25-17, JO n° 88 of 2025, art. 143, which sets the 5 % customs duty, the exemptions and the flat single tax of 0.5 % per import) and source_url (the Journal Officiel PDF of the decree). That activity is NOT governed by the ordinary auto-entrepreneur limits (finance law 2026, art. 143: micro-importers are eligible notwithstanding the legislation in force, and no text read sets a yearly ceiling of its own for them): never present the 5 million DZD yearly turnover ceiling of the ordinary status as its limit, and read regime.note before answering about it. For Tunisia (country TN) pass the key regime: you get who qualifies (Tunisian nationality, individual practice, the sectors, the ceiling of 75,000 dinars of yearly turnover), the exclusions, the duration, the registration, the single contribution with what it replaces and what it is made of, the late payment fine and the deregistration, each with the article of the law it comes from. The official list of activities is not loaded: say so, and never present the absence of an activity as an exclusion. For Morocco (country MA) pass the key of an excluded profession (for example avocats) to get it with the regime, or the key regime to get the regime alone: the definition, the turnover ceilings (500 000 and 200 000 dirhams), the tax rates (0.5 % and 1 %), the obligations and the legal texts (law 114-13 and its decrees).

get_anae_activity

Get the business tax rates in force in 2026 for a country: the corporate income tax (the standard rate where there is one, the particular rates by sector or activity and the minimum tax), the value added tax rates and the main withholding tax rates, plus, for Algeria, the IRG income tax scale of CIDTA art. 104 (personal_income_tax: the scale of individuals, which the monthly withholding on salaries also applies, with abatements) and the IFU flat tax of micro-businesses (flat_tax: 5 % and 12 % up to 8,000,000 DA, 0.5 % for the auto-entrepreneur; eligibility and the nineteen excluded activities are in the notes of the record and in calculate_ifu), and, for Morocco, the IR income tax scale (personal_income_tax) and the flat tax of the auto-entrepreneur (flat_tax), each with the legal article it comes from, the date it applies from when the text gives one and the official page it was read on. Algeria (DZ, the default country), Tunisia (TN) and Morocco (MA) have this dataset; for Tunisia, personal_income_tax and flat_tax are null. It is a reading of public texts, not tax advice. Tunisia and Morocco need an API key.

get_tax_rates

Get the social contributions and payroll levies in a country in 2026, each with its base, its legal source and the official page it was read on. Algeria (DZ, the default country): the CNAS social security contribution on salaries (34.5 %: 25 % employer, 9 % employee and 0.5 % social works fund, with its split by branch; unemployment insurance and early retirement are branches inside that rate, not separate contributions), five special categories of workers (home workers, people employed by private individuals, artists and authors, parking attendants, fishing crews), and the CASNOS contribution of the self-employed with its rate, its base, its floor and ceiling (rule of executive decree 26-257, published 23 July 2026) and the auto-entrepreneur flat option. The Algerian list is not complete: the other categories of decree 85-34, journalists paid by the task, professional sports clubs and the CACOBATPH are not in it (see the note of cnas_general_regime), so never say a contribution does not exist because it is missing here: search the Journal officiel. Tunisia (TN): the social security (CNSS) contribution with its employer and employee shares, the work accident range, the complementary pension regime and the payroll levies (vocational training tax TFP and housing fund contribution FOPROLOS). Morocco (MA): the CNSS contributions (family allowances, short-term and long-term social benefits with their salary ceiling), the compulsory health insurance (AMO) and the vocational training tax (TFP), with the employer and employee shares. For an Algerian estimate use calculate_casnos and calculate_ifu. Tunisia and Morocco need an API key.

get_social_contributions

List the years covered by the index of the Journal Officiel de la République Algérienne (JORA), the official gazette in which Algerian laws, ordinances, decrees and orders are published, from 1962, newest year first. For each year: its number of issues, the last issue number, how many issues have a French and an Arabic edition, and for how many issues UpGrowth holds a summary. For Morocco (country MA) it lists the years of the Bulletin officiel du Royaume du Maroc, the Moroccan official gazette, from 1912: its French and Arabic editions (the French translation edition holds fewer issues) and no summaries. For Tunisia (country TN) it lists the years of the Journal Officiel de la République Tunisienne (JORT), the Tunisian official gazette, from 1956: its French and Arabic editions and no summaries. Use it first, to see which years exist before listing the issues of a year. Without an API key only Algeria answers, and meta.free_years lists the years it may read: the other years need a key. Takes only the optional lang and country.

list_jo_years

List the main legal forms to create a company in Algeria: SARL, EURL, SPA, SPAS and SPASU (the simplified joint-stock company of loi 22-09, reserved to companies certified start-up), SNC, sole trader and auto-entrepreneur. Other forms of the commercial code (sociétés en commandite, groupement, société en participation) are not in this list, so never say a form does not exist because it is missing here: check search_jo_text. For each form it gives the number of partners allowed, the minimum capital and the official State fees of each creation step (trade register, legal announcements and so on) for 2026, with the total of the published fees. A step whose price no official text fixes, such as the notary or the bank, is flagged as not priced instead of guessed. It lists State fees only, never the fees of a service provider, so it is not a quote for a creation. For Tunisia (country TN) it lists the legal forms of the commercial companies code (SARL, SUARL, SA, SNC, SCS) and the sole trader, with the partners allowed, the minimum capital, the liability and the registration steps at the National Register of Enterprises, each with its official fee in Tunisian dinars, its documents and its delay. For Morocco (country MA) it lists the SARL, the single-member SARL (SARL AU), the SA, the SAS, the SNC and the SCS, the sole trader and the auto-entrepreneur status, with the partners allowed, the minimum capital, the liability and the creation steps (negative certificate of OMPIC, statutes, registration of the deeds, professional tax and tax identification, trade register, CNSS affiliation, publication in the official gazette), each with its official fee in Moroccan dirhams when an official page states one. Tunisia and Morocco need an API key.
