Tax Benefits for Start-Ups in Algeria

An Applied Study in the El Oued Province (Algeria)

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the impact of tax benefits on the growth of start-ups in
Algeria, applying it to the companies affiliated with the Directorate of Industry in the El Oued
Province (Algeria). The data included the number of companies, types of activities, and volume of
investments. These statistics reflect the current situation of the sector and enhance understanding of
the challenges and opportunities facing these companies in Algeria. The study concluded that
Algeria has provided a package of tax benefits to support start-ups, including tax exemptions and
reductions for several years on profits and professional activities, which contributes to alleviating
financial burdens during the early growth phase. Start-ups also benefit from value-added tax
exemptions when purchasing installations, and reductions or customs exemptions on imports,
which reduces operating costs. The state provides workspaces at preferential prices and special
support for research and development in the field of technology. These measures aim to stimulate
innovation and facilitate investment to contribute to economic diversification and sustainable
growth in Algeria.
