During a
virtual JEF dialogue session held recently, the forum's members stressed the
need to enhance tax awareness, raise auditor competency and expand the taxpayer
base, as well as updating citizens with "all transparency of the aspects
of spending tax collections," according to a JEF statement.
To launch
the reform-driven path, the members highlighted the importance of accelerating
completion of the billing system, expanding tax settlements, expediting payment
of private sector refunds and monitoring some professions to reduce tax
evasion.
Stressing
the importance of propagating tax culture, they called on government to turn
tax revenues to services, with an impact "sensed by all."
During the
session, Chairman of the JEF Board of Directors, MP Khair Abu Sa'ilek, lauded
level and efficiency of the tax administration "recently," which has
made "remarkable" strides in tax reform, adding that additional steps
should be made in this regard.
Abu Sa'ilek
also stressed the need to promote tax culture, calling on the gov't to play a
media role in this regard.
To end
tax-related collection distortions, he stressed the need to better qualify tax
auditors, referring to complaints related to their practices made in violation
of law.
Abu Sa'ilek
also called for intensifying integration of e-channels to audit and inspect
taxpayers, stressing the need to balance direct and indirect levies and revisit
the sales tax.
