Baghdad - Mawazine News
Today, Tuesday, the Federal Integrity Commission called for the General Tax Authority to address the issue of similarity of names, in coordination with the relevant authorities, and to facilitate tax procedures.
The Authority's Prevention Department stated in a statement that "its team prepared a report after conducting field visits to the headquarters of the General Tax Authority and its five branches in Baghdad to diagnose negative phenomena that may lead to bribery," noting that "remittances received from the central bank, and seizure Receipts from state institutions do not contain complete information about the taxpayer, as they are received with binary or triple names without mentioning the mother’s or husband’s name or age, in addition to that the quotes sent to the General Authority for Taxes and its branches and the customs declarations received from the border crossings also do not contain complete information. The taxpayer's tax number was not included in it.
The report recommended that a copy of it be sent to the office of the Prime Minister, the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, the Minister of Finance, the General Authority for Taxes and Customs, and the General Real Estate Registration Directorate, “developing elaborate mechanisms for collecting tax amounts in the receipts of tax secretariats at border crossings, clearance and disbursement of dues, to reduce cases of forgery.” In it, which negatively affected revenues,” calling for “work to find accounting treatments for trusts.”
He pointed to "the importance of obtaining unified identities and tax numbers for all taxpayers when calculating taxes, with high specifications that prevent them from being forged, and unifying the amounts of tax fees between the federal government and the regional government."
The report recommended "finding a suitable place for the major taxpayers' departments, direct deductions, and companies, due to the large number of auditors in them, and limiting and standardizing the tax accounting of the main agents of telecommunications companies in the major taxpayers' department, in addition to conducting a comprehensive survey to enumerate the new taxpayers, and work to find ways to encourage them such as (discounts, allowances). tax, rewards), and tightening the penalties for those who refrain from conducting accountability in order to reduce the phenomenon of tax evasion,” stressing that “tax accountability has not been conducted for companies and large taxpayers (banks and oil companies) since August 2022, due to the failure to resolve the issue of tax secretariats, and the failure to find solutions.” accounting for her.
The report revealed, "The Federal Bureau of Financial Supervision has not approved the financial statements of the Authority since 2012, because it did not provide it with the required data and records for audit purposes."
He pointed to "the reasons that lead to tax evasion, including the weakness of field survey procedures to count and register taxpayers among the owners of professions and businesses, and the failure to estimate the tax for files whose owners have not been reviewed, and the failure to take legal measures against those who refuse to pay the tax amount, and the prevalence of the phenomenon of patent forgery." responsibility in most branches, which negatively affected tax revenues," pointing to "the spread of the phenomenon of forgery of receipts for payment of tax secretariat amounts at border crossings, and the lack of cooperation between ministries and relevant authorities in requesting clearance before granting the license, as an example of this is the establishment of the Ministry of Health and the General Directorate Industrial development and trade unions by granting licenses to practice the profession without asking for a clearance.
He explained that "the Ministry of Health and the General Tourism Authority have transferred most of the restaurants from the first class to the third class, which has led to them not being subject to tax accountability."
The report stressed that "legal measures should be taken against the owners of real estate that are laden with debts that have not been reviewed by their owners, with an emphasis on the prevention department's proposal that it is necessary to prepare controls for estimating the value of the real estate rent, in order to avoid exposing the citizen to extortion and bargaining by the estimation committees," stressing "the existence of real estate with low rental rates, And the failure of the observers of the branches of the General Authority for Taxes to play their role in following up the rented real estate, and marking the vacancy of some of them.
The report called for "taking legal measures against the joint disclosure committees that failed to perform their work and caused damage to public money," explaining that "manipulation was detected in the type of real estate and its value was estimated at less than its real value, and manipulation of the building area of a number of them, and ignoring the advantage of the fact that the property is real." on a commercial street.
And the report continued, "Financial differences were observed in calculating the amount of tax in a number of branches. In the branch of the Karkh parties tax, a file was concealed and the land transaction was hidden for one of the taxpayers, whose tax amount amounted to (22,000,000,000) dinars, and he was provided with a clearance and he was not held accountable taxally, and in Basra, violations were monitored. In the tax calculation for fuel filling stations in the amount of (7,000,000,000) dinars after tampering with the supply numbers, while in Diwaniyah, the director of the branch of the General Authority for Taxes in the province memorized the controls for estimating construction values in real estate ownership transfer transactions, and continued to work with the old controls whose amounts were less, than what It resulted in a great waste of public money in (5987) disposal transactions.
The report urges "obligating the General Tax Authority to sort and send customs declarations to the tax branches for tax assessment and keeping them in the taxpayers' files, after noting that it did not approve the customs declarations received from the border crossings in feeding the calculator information, as it puts them in bags and stores them randomly in containers without classifying them." According to the port from which it was received, which led to its accumulation in large numbers reaching millions and its damage, in addition to its reliance on disks sent by the General Authority for Customs to feed the calculator information annually and not monthly, in addition to not sending the permits to the tax branches, contrary to the internal system that obligated them to sort the permits. And keep it in the files of the taxpayers for approval in assessing the tax.
Concerning the investigative committees, the report pointed to "a delay in the completion period of up to five years in some cases, the failure to conduct an investigation in some of them, and the recommendation to impose penalties that are not commensurate with the act committed," noting that "most of the committees recommend the imposition of a penalty of drawing attention to acts that constitute a crime." ".
