Algeria
Algeria has no e-invoicing obligation in the sources reviewed; its 2026 Finance Law instead tightens rules on certified cash-register and accounting software and on electronic tax filing.

Invoicing and electronic documents
Certified accounting and cash-register software
From 1 January 2027, VAT-registered businesses that record non-invoiced sales on software or a cash register, and businesses audited on computerised accounts, must present a publisher's commitment or an accreditation certificate for that software. This is a software-integrity rule, not an invoice exchange system, and has no Peppol role.
Software conformity commitment or certificate; accounting files in a format set by ministerial order · Official source: Official Journal of Algeria No. 88 of 2025 · 2026 Finance Law, Law 25-17 (French)
Peppol
No national Peppol Authority is listed for Algeria, so OpenPeppol acts as the authority.
No national Peppol specification found · Official source: OpenPeppol · Peppol Authorities
Electronic invoicing in Algeria is a commercial choice in the sources reviewed. Peppol can be used where trading partners agree, but there is no national Peppol specification or authority. The nearer compliance task is software: from 2027, cash-register and accounting software used by covered businesses will need a publisher commitment or certificate. See the 2026 Finance Law.
Research for Algeria was limited because the tax administration's website could not be reached. Check the Directorate General of Taxes' guidance before relying on this page.
