the undersigned, are kindly requested to address the Prime Minister in order to
extend the exemption from tax and customs penalties for an additional one
month.
Where
the period granted to citizens was only 60 days from 1/11 to 31/12 and the
government's willingness to receive the actual payment began from 20/11 only.
And
where a large percentage of citizens were not able to benefit from the
exemption for not completing the procedures of the interests and the settlement
of settlements as a result of overcrowding of applications, especially in the
last week, in addition to the difficulty of paying the principal amount
sometimes, and some seek to secure bank loans or borrow it as the end of the
year, In getting a loan.
In
order to assist citizens in facing the financial and economic challenges and to
expand the beneficiaries of the financial exemption from traders and
individuals, we present to you to address the government in this memorandum to
extend the deadline for one month only.
Note
that the next amnesty law excludes tax and customs penalties, in addition to
extending the time period will provide the Treasury with more of the
outstanding claims and reduce the cases seen in the courts, which is in the
interest of the Income and Sales Tax Department,
And
