Baghdad: Shaima Rasheed
The Parliamentary Economic Committee expressed its support for imposing collection fees on services.
Committee member Representative Yasser Al-Husseini told Al-Sabah that
“there is a trend to enhance non-oil revenues by imposing taxes and organizing collection better,” indicating that
“with regard to collection, the government has the right to impose fees on stable services such as water and sewage, but it must ensure continuity and quality.”
These services are before fees are imposed on them. Al-Husseini believes that
“the imposition of taxes must be linked to the presence of new economic activities, and that
the government is obligated to activate its real non-oil resources, such as ports for example, which can generate good profits, making them an important source of income.” He continued,
"The government needs to address the gaps in collections and taxes to be able to transform these revenues into an actual source that finances the operational budget, employee salaries, and develops services."
