Law No. 05-16 of 29 Dhou El Kaada 1426 corresponding to December 31, 2005 on the finance law for 2006

Art. 176 : The Directorate General of Taxes determines the tax identification number of natural and legal persons as well as administrative entities on the occasion:

In addition, any act, declaration, registration or operation carried out with a tax administration department must be accompanied by the tax identification number so as to ensure the identification of the persons concerned.
Art. 178 : Tax identification numbers are brought to the attention of user organizations and institutions. They are used exclusively:
– to verify the reliability of the identification elements of natural persons appearing in the processing of data relating to the basis, control and recovery of any tax, duty, tax, fee or fine; – for the exercise of the right of communication with the persons listed in articles 45 to 61 of the code of tax procedures.

Why is it mandatory?
It is recalled that the allocation of the Statistical Identification Number (NIS) is instituted by Executive Decree 97-396 of 26 Joumada Ethania 1418 corresponding to October 28, 1997. Its article 17 charges the central statistics institution, the ONS, with keeping and updating a directory of economic and social agents to whom a Statistical Identification Number (NIS) is assigned.
On the other hand, the ordinances N° 95-27 of 30/12/95 as well as that N° 96-31 of 30/12/96 came to consolidate the preceding texts by making obligation to the national economic operators to use the registration number tax (which is none other than the NIS) and fixing the deadlines for its implementation on 31/12/99.
Ordinance No. 95-27 of 30.12.95 relating to the finance law for the year 1996, stipulates in its article 21 that economic operators carrying out activities under wholesale conditions must support their declarations to the tax services with , among other information, their national identifier and tax article number.
Finally, the law of finances for the year 2002, removed the confusion between the two names of the national identifier (tax number and statistical identification number) to retain only the second name – Number of statistical identification (NIS )-. In addition, any administrative file submitted by an economic agent must contain a copy of the identification notice from the ONS.
