Government Proposes Tax Exemption for Energy Storage Batteries

The government aims to support the energy transition and promote solar energy by exempting energy storage batteries from customs duties and value-added tax.

According to financial expert Sadok Bessas, this exemption will reduce battery prices by 60%.

The measure is intended to address the frequent power outages.

In contrast, the budget proposes increasing the departure tax from 60 to 80 dinars and directing its resources to social funds.
