Maher Ketari, head of the Finance Commission in the Tunisian parliament, publicly advocated on June 18, 2026, for continuing a tax exemption for Tunisian citizens residing abroad regarding the wealth tax. Despite this stance, Ketari reiterated his fundamental opposition to the wealth tax itself. He discussed the matter during an interview on Mosaïque FM radio. The debate centers on whether Tunisian nationals living outside the country should be subject to the same wealth tax obligations as those residing within Tunisia. Ketari’s position suggests a desire to avoid potential financial burdens on the Tunisian diaspora. This issue has been gaining prominence in Tunisian financial discussions, as reported by Business News. The article first appeared on the Business News website.
