Algeria
Accounting and ERP software for Algeria — SCF, G50 and Jibayatic
No e-invoicing mandate is in force. What is mandatory is online filing: the monthly G50 through Jibayatic, the SCF chart of accounts, and CNAS payroll.

What your invoice must carry
What Algerian compliance actually requires
-
The monthly G50 through Jibayatic
A single consolidated declaration covering VAT, salary withholding and other levies, filed online by the 20th. An ERP earns its place by producing G50-shaped output directly.
-
The SCF chart of accounts
The Système Comptable Financier is the mandatory Algerian plan de comptes. It is not the French PCG and not IFRS numbering.
-
Legally required invoice identifiers
The NIF, NIS, commercial register number and article d'imposition are required mentions. An invoice missing them is not a compliant invoice.
-
CNAS and CASNOS
Separate bodies for employees and the self-employed, plus the annual salary declaration — each with its own format and calendar.
We are not going to tell you e-invoicing is mandatory here
It is not. The start that had been planned for January 2026 did not take effect, no binding legislation is in force, and the realistic horizon has moved to 2027 or later while the authority designs a centralised model.
Be careful with what you read on this: search results readily mix Algeria up with France, whose own mandate began in September 2026. They are different countries and different laws, and a vendor quoting the French date at you is not describing your obligations.
Online filing, however, is genuinely mandatory
Filing tax declarations online through Jibayatic has been obligatory since the start of 2026. So the immediate requirement is not a structured invoice sent to the authority; it is being able to produce correct declarations, on time, in the shape the portal expects.
Voluntary electronic invoicing already exists for suppliers on public contracts, which is a reasonable place to build the habit before it is required.
Build for it anyway, without paying for it twice
The direction across the region is not in doubt, and Algeria has said what model it intends. The sensible position is a system that already runs clearance-based invoicing elsewhere, so that when a mandate does arrive it is a mapping exercise rather than a migration.
Common questions
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Algeria?
No. The start that had been planned for January 2026 did not take effect, no binding legislation is in force, and the realistic horizon has moved to 2027 or later while the authority designs a centralised model. What is mandatory is online filing, not electronic invoicing.
Does the French e-invoicing mandate apply to Algeria?
No. Search results readily mix Algeria up with France, whose own mandate began in September 2026. They are different countries with different laws, and a vendor quoting the French date at you is not describing your obligations.
What filing is actually mandatory in Algeria?
Filing tax declarations online through Jibayatic has been obligatory since the start of 2026. The central document is the monthly G50, a single consolidated declaration covering VAT, salary withholding and other levies, filed online by the 20th — so the immediate requirement is producing correct declarations on time in the shape the portal expects.
Which chart of accounts must an Algerian business use?
The Système Comptable Financier (SCF) is the mandatory Algerian plan de comptes. It is not the French PCG and it is not IFRS numbering, so a chart imported from either has to be mapped rather than adopted.
What must an Algerian invoice carry?
The NIF, NIS, commercial register number and article d'imposition are required mentions. An invoice missing them is not a compliant invoice, whether or not it was issued electronically.
Rates, regimes and deadlines in this summary change, and many countries are actively legislating on e-invoicing. This is general information, not tax or legal advice — confirm the current position with the authority named above or with your tax adviser before you rely on it.
