Payment Supporting Documents: Algeria

To make a bank transfer to our account in France, Algerian law requires that you provide a bank payment authorization certificate as part of the service delivery process. This certificate is obtained from the DGE (Direction des Grandes Entreprises - http://www.dge.gov.dz) to which you will have to send the documents listed below:

  • A purchase order signed by EcoVadis and your business
  • An original invoice in Euros
  • An original invoice BIS in Algerian dinars (specifying that the work has been done in France)
  • The certificate of tax residence of EcoVadis - the fact of contracting service with an Algerian company is subject to a tax of 24%, but under the tax treaty between France and Algeria, this tax will not be deducted if you provide the certificate of tax residence of EcoVadis to the DGE.
  • A delivery order - this is the invoice signed and stamped indicating the start date of your subscription.
  • A certificate of work remittance

EcoVadis is able to provide you with all of these documents and assist you throughout the process. 

Here's how to proceed:

  1. First, please validate your questionnaire online. After it is validated, you will receive your invoice by email.
  2. You should then contact your bank to obtain the exchange rate EUR/DZD on the date of the invoice.
  3. Contact EcoVadis to request your documents: On the page Submit a Request, enter "Invoicing & Payment" as the subject. Be sure to indicate the exchange rate provided by your bank.
  4. EcoVadis will then use this information to prepare all the documents required to be sent to the DGE.

Once the DGE has provided you with a payment authorization certificate, your bank will be able to proceed with the international transfer.
