For NGOs, tax compliance includes:
- Registering with the tax authorities (Direction Générale des Impôts, or DGI).
- Obtaining a taxpayer identification number (NIF).
- Filing accurate and timely tax declarations for all applicable taxes (e.g., corporate income tax, VAT, payroll taxes).
- Paying taxes due by the deadlines set by law.
- Maintaining proper accounting and documentation to support reported figures.
- Responding to tax administration inquiries or audits when requested.
Compliance goes beyond just paying taxes — it’s about fulfilling all legal obligations related to the organisation’s financial activities.
