The audited persons were themselves audited by the audit organization or audit institutions that are members of the Iranian Certified Accountant Society to the Tax Agency, and in case of failure to submit it, in addition to a fine equal to 20% of the due tax, their taxable income will be determined according to the provisions of the Direct Taxes Law and through proceedings. became.
