Member of the Program and Budget Committee of the Parliament:
This year we had 4 billion dollars of tax evasion
The number of empty houses remained undecided
A member of the Parliament’s Program, Budget and Calculations Committee said: preventing tax evasion is a priority in the 1401 budget. Because we currently have tax evasion equal to the budget of 15 provinces of the country.
In an interview with Tasnim reporter in Qazvin, Rajab Rahmani emphasized the need to completely stop depending on the income from the export of oil and oil derivatives and stated: One of the main strategies for development in all advanced countries of the world is to rely on tax income, and today there is no big country in the world. There is no one who does not consider tax as the main source of national income.
He added: If our goal is to reach the people’s economy, we must pay attention to the fact that the characteristic of a sustainable budget is its reliance on people’s power, and the most important manifestation of using people’s power and capacity is taxation. On the condition that the tax is taken according to the income of each person and we see the removal of unfair taxes for the people below the poverty line.
Rahmani continued by referring to the proverb “He who has a higher roof has more snow”. Everyone should pay taxes according to the income they earn from the facilities of our country, and the higher the income, the more taxes they should pay. However, today we see that the situation is reversed and people with large incomes have tax evasion and most of the country’s tax burden is on the shoulders of salary earners and employees.
He considered the amount of tax evasion to be around 4 billion dollars in the last year and stated: therefore, preventing tax evasion is a priority in the 1401 budget; Because we currently have tax evasion equal to the budget of 15 provinces of the country, and if this 4 billion dollars is injected into our deprivation department, we can create basic welfare facilities in all the villages of the country.
The necessity of hammering the tax law on empty houses
In another part of his speech, the representative of Takistan people in the Islamic Council criticized the negligence and slowness of some institutions in identifying the statistics of empty houses in provinces like Qazvin and said: Although the updated statistics of empty houses were supposed to be available to the Ministry of Roads and Urbanization should be included, but the assignment of this statistic has not yet been determined in many provinces.
Referring to the weaknesses in this law, Rahmani added: It seems that this law should be implemented for all people who have more than one house or residential unit, and when we set the condition for people with more than 2 houses, practically the number We exclude many vacant houses from the exemption payment and the possibility of returning them to the sales and rental cycle.
He continued: Of course, in this field of construction, we are going to hold meetings with the construction commission of the parliament in order to clarify the role of the tax law on vacant houses in preventing tax evasion, if possible, to determine the amendments to the law, so that if the representatives agree, the extent and Make the effect of the law beyond the existing situation.
He reminded: In any case, the Parliament’s Program and Budget Commission intends to help the government with an expert view in the next year’s budget to approve a budget to reduce social problems; Therefore, justice-oriented and attention to the weak sections of the society is still in the center of our attention, of course, due to the positive support of the 13th revolutionary government, we hope to achieve an efficient budget without a deficit.
