The Deputy Minister of Economy and Head of the Tax Organization said: Despite the war conditions, thanks to the grace of God and the actions of the past years in order to make the tax system smarter, the process of collecting tax revenues is favorable.

According to Mehr reporter, Seyyed Mohammad Hadi Sobhanian, Deputy Minister of Economy and Head of the Tax Agency, stated in a joint press conference with the government spokesperson at the Tax Agency building, that about 70% of the government's current expenses are financed through taxes. According to the special conditions that had arisen for the country, the tax system should create a balance between providing government resources and maintaining the stability of economic activities.

He added: Since the end of last year and with the beginning of the imposed war, various and numerous measures were taken in this area. Thankfully, the process was well managed, with almost all wartime deadlines being extended and many statutory obligations approved or postponed.

Deputy Minister of Economy and Head of Tax Affairs Organization continued: Despite these conditions, thanks to the grace of God and the actions of the past years in order to make the tax system smarter, the process of collecting tax revenues in the first 6 months of this year has been favorable.

He stated: In the past years, around 35-40% of the total tax resources were always collected in the first six months of the year. But this year, with the actions taken and the measures taken to support businesses, especially those that have been directly and indirectly affected, we managed to achieve about 38.2% of the tax revenue sources predicted for this year.
