In the report, a copy of which was 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, it recommended setting up 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, which negatively affected revenues, calling for work to find accounting treatments for trusts, pointing to the importance of completing identities and tax numbers; The standard for all taxpayers when calculating taxes with high specifications that prevent falsification, and unifying the amounts of tax fees between the federal government and the regional government.

Without asking for a clearance, noting that the Ministry of Health and the General Authority for Tourism have transferred most restaurants from first class to third class, which has led to them not being subject to tax accountability.

In the tax calculation of fuel filling stations in the amount of (7,000,000,000) billion dinars after tampering with the numbers of supplies, while in Diwaniyah, the director of the branch of the General Authority for Taxes in the province memorized the controls for estimating construction costs in real estate ownership transfer transactions, and continued to work with the old controls whose amounts were less, Which resulted in a huge waste of public money in (5987) disposal transactions.

 

And he urged that the General Tax Authority be obligated 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 you put them in bags and store them randomly in containers without classifying them according to the port they come from. This led to their accumulation in large numbers amounting to millions and their damage, in addition to their reliance on disks sent by the General Authority of 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 them in the files of the taxpayers for approval. in assessing the tax.

He pointed out that "the financial and administrative system in Iraq needs to be restructured, and the need to introduce new tools and mechanisms in dealing with it to keep pace with the global financial system, in light of the lack of control over non-oil revenues," and noted that "the financial authority is not serious about accessing these revenues, As the current government is supposed to turn to digital finance to access the real financial revenues of the state.
