A complete guide to the Série G n°12 bis: who must file it, the 20 January deadline, how the complementary tax is computed against the forecast, the box-by-box walkthrough, the rules for new taxpayers, late-filing penalties and the official download.
Before you fill in the form
The G12 bis form, officially the « Série G n°12 bis », is the final declaration of turnover or professional receipts for taxpayers under the Single Flat-Rate Tax regime (IFU). It closes the tax year: you report the turnover actually achieved, compare it with the forecast declared on the G12, and pay the complementary tax matching the gap. The obligation comes from article 282 quater of the CIDTA.
The flat-rate logic rests on two forms. The G12, filed during the year, announces and prepays. The G12 bis, filed at the start of the following year, settles up. Without a G12 bis the tax position of the year stays open and your tax office cannot close the file.
Since the 2025 Finance Act, the G12 bis also carries the net income matching the turnover declared for the closed year, plus a section on wages paid. The form has become the complete annual snapshot of a flat-rate business.
The final declaration must be filed at the latest on 20 January of year N+1, for the turnover achieved in year N. That date is printed on the official form and comes from article 282 quater of the CIDTA. It also applies to new taxpayers, who declare at the latest on 20 January of the year following the start of their activity.
The professional tax calendar published by the DGI restates this deadline every year: https://www.mfdgi.gov.dz/fr/professionnels/calandrier-fiscal-pro/594-regime-forfaitaire-ifu/151-declaration-definitive-de-l-impot-forfaitaire-unique-ifu
The DGI may extend the deadline by public notice, as it did for the final declaration of the 2024 financial year. An extension is a one-off measure: never take it for granted, and watch the administration's notices in January.
Where the payment deadline falls on a public holiday, it is postponed to the next working day.
| Criterion | G12, forecast | G12 bis, final |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Turnover expected for year N | Turnover actually achieved in year N |
| Deadline | 30 June of year N | 20 January of year N+1 |
| Legal basis | Art. 1 of the CPF | Art. 282 quater of the CIDTA |
| Payment | Full IFU, or instalments of 50 / 25 / 25 | Complementary IFU if actual exceeds forecast |
| New taxpayers | Not concerned | The only declaration to file |
| Wages section | Absent | Present, box II |
| Net income | Absent | To be stated for the closed year |
The form mirrors the G12 and adds the actual-versus-forecast comparison, a wages section and net income.
Case 1, service provider. On her G12 a consultant had declared 2,400,000 DA of forecast receipts and paid 288,000 DA of IFU at 12 %. Her actual turnover for the year comes to 3,000,000 DA. Complementary turnover is 3,000,000 minus 2,400,000, that is 600,000 DA. The complementary IFU is 600,000 x 12 % = 72,000 DA, payable when the G12 bis is filed. Total IFU for the year is therefore 360,000 DA.
Case 2, auto-entrepreneur. A consultant registered with the ANAE had declared 3,000,000 DA of forecast turnover and paid 15,000 DA at 0.5 %. He finally achieves 4,200,000 DA. The complementary base is 1,200,000 DA, giving 1,200,000 x 0.5 % = 6,000 DA payable with the G12 bis. Total for the year: 21,000 DA.
Case 3, actual below forecast. If actual turnover is lower than the forecast, no complementary tax is due: the complementary column is nil. The IFU already paid stays with the Treasury, and the minimum assessment remains the floor for the year in every case.
Case 4, new taxpayer. A business created during the year files no G12. It files its first G12 bis at the latest on the following 20 January and spontaneously pays the IFU computed on the turnover achieved, without going below the 30,000 DA minimum, reduced to 10,000 DA under auto-entrepreneur status.
Two penalty regimes coexist depending on whether the late filing produces a payment (art. 282 nonies of the CIDTA).
| Delay | If tax is due | If no payment is due |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month or less | 10 % surcharge | 2,500 DA fine |
| More than 1 month, up to 2 months | 20 % surcharge | 5,000 DA fine |
| More than 2 months | 25 % surcharge | 10,000 DA fine |
The G12 bis is the document that records a threshold breach. Taxpayers whose turnover or professional receipts exceed 8,000,000 DA move, at the close of the year following the breach, to the actual-profit regime or the simplified regime as the case may be. That status is then kept whatever the turnover of later years (art. 282 quater of the CIDTA).
For auto-entrepreneurs the threshold is 5,000,000 DA. Anyone exceeding it three years running must register with the commercial register to continue trading, and then moves to the matching tax regime, under article 14 of Law 22-23 on auto-entrepreneur status.
Where several activities are run at once and combined turnover exceeds 8,000,000 DA, the taxpayer moves to the actual-profit regime for each activity, from the year following the breach (art. 282 quinquies of the CIDTA).
A voluntary option for the actual-profit or simplified regime must be notified to the administration before 1 February of the first year of application. The option is irrevocable.
The form is published by the Directorate General of Taxes and is bilingual, Arabic and French. We do not host the administration's PDF so that you always download the edition in force.
