Baghdad/writer
A

reforms required was to amend the companies Act No. 21 of 1997, by
adding an additional paragraph to the paragraphs of the article (16) of
the Act, the new paragraph on income tax exemption of capital from
equity when the registration of the company to the Registrar of
companies.
Alfkiki said that the implementation
of this proposal would be a major impetus for investment activity and
create new jobs and reduce unemployment, and in-kind capital currently
disabled or underutilized as required of real estate and agricultural
and non-agricultural land and machinery and equipment will find their
way to invest and raise rates.
He said
that there was a need to review the taxes and fees on housing and real
estate sector in order to promote the construction of housing and
building problem leaching, small real estate investors in the private
sector contributed effectively and continuously throughout the era of
the 1940s to the 1980s, working in housing projects, but the halt in the
1990s and until now, because of taxes and fees imposed on this sector
and the property transfers and fees and other genus patch of real
estate, which is still valid so far Despite the
disappearance of reasons imposed in the 1990s, and then to be reviewed
in this topic and the abolition of all taxes and charges in this sector
if there is a genuine will to the private sector to resume its role in
building a greater economic and social problem facing Iraq.
And
that despite the enactment of the investment and the provision of tax
exemptions and facilities of importance and role, but that is not enough
to attract the investment effectively to Iraq, so must be the rest of
the legislation, regulations and procedures and appropriate concepts and
perceptions of objectivity, as infrastructure (Infrastructure) is a
critical factor added to provide an attractive investment environment, a
concept not only to roads, electricity, water and communications, but
