Iraq – Economists support imposing taxes on imported goods

Baghdad-Iraq 27/7/2018

The Iraqi government resorted recently to impose taxes on a large number of imported goods that enter through all border crossings to achieve financial resources and fill the deficit. Economists said that the Iraqi economy is mainly dependent on oil because of the lack of diversification of economic sources, stressing that the goal behind imposing taxes and fees is to find other sources for state and achieve real justice in tax policy, in a way that does not burden the citizens.
