An international seminar was held on Friday, October 7, 2011, at IACE, to discuss the participatory process of simplifying tax and customs formalities.
Beginning his speech with an anecdote on gender equality in Tunisia, Jalloul Ayed, Minister of Finance, announced the official launch of the new reform, before an audience of Tunisian businessmen and financial experts.
Those present heard a long, but informative, eloquent and motivating speech, which detailed the most important aspects of the participatory process of simplifying tax and customs formalities, its objectives, the commissions responsible for its implementation, the institutions involved in reviewing its formalities, and the measures for monitoring its results.
This is a concept imported from Europe, which has proven successful in Switzerland. It allows for the establishment of a complete and central register of formalities to be applied and reduces regulatory and administrative costs by quickly eliminating or simplifying a large number of unnecessary administrative formalities.
Furthermore, the Minister of Finance announced the launch, within a week, of a generational investment fund whose function will be to help finance private projects. By 2016, this fund will provide between 35 and 45 billion dinars, and will therefore allow the creation of approximately one million jobs.
A project that Mr. Ayed considers a turbocharger for the national economy, which will participate in promoting the country's economic dynamism. Z.D
