Director General of the
Income and Sales Tax Department Hussam Abu Ali said

Abu Ali said on
Wednesday that legislation is the most important pillar in tax reforms, as it
includes setting standard terms for incentives, establishing a supply base for
goods and services, unifying tax administration, and reviewing tax incentives
related to the investment environment.
Speaking at a
seminar at the
Amman Chamber of Commerce, Abu Ali noted that the amended law of
the Aqaba Special Economic Zone 2021 authorizes the Income and Sales Tax
Department to audit and collect income tax and general sales tax in the Aqaba
Special Economic Zone, thus unifying the tax administration while maintaining
benefits and exemptions for those registered in Aqaba.
He added that the
reforms adopted by the department played a role in increasing tax compliance
and expanding the taxpayer base, especially in regard to fighting tax evasion,
and applying international standards to them.
Abu Ali also said that the reforms did not impose
any increase in the current applied taxes, nor did they impose new taxes.
He pointed out that the law Transfer Pricing No. 40 for the
year 2021 was issued to enhance transparency and justice among taxpayers
through imposing a fair price in transactions, as well as applying the standard
conditions for institutions registered in development areas.
