The Income and
Sales Tax Department has called on traders, industrialists, and service
providers to voluntarily register in the network of general sales tax once they
reach the tax registration threshold. This is all based on the principle of tax
commitment so as not to subject themselves to fines, additions, and legal
irregularities. It is worth mentioning that the limit of registration for sales
tax in the service sector amounts to 30.000 dinars and for anyone with a total revenue of 30.000dinars in the time span of 12
consecutive months or part of it, is asked to register in the network of people
required to pay for the general sales tax.
The registration
limit for the commercial and industrial sectors is 75.000 dinars and for anyone with
total sales of 75.000 dinars within the time span of 12 months,
or part of it, is asked to register in the network of people required to pay
for the general sales tax.
The ISTD calls on
anyone who reaches the registration limit to voluntarily register himself in the
network of people required to pay for the general sales tax and visit the
nearest directorate or center instead of being subject to legal proceedings for
failing to register in the network of people required to
pay for the general sales tax.
It is worth
mentioning that the department's field inspection teams conduct tours in the
workplace of traders, industrialists,
service providers and professionals to make sure that business owners,
merchants, service providers and industrialists are committed to register in
the network of peoplerequired to pay for the general sales tax. Some of them haven't registered or exceeded the threshold of tax
registration.
The field
inspection is a continuation of the ISTD's occasional surveys to identify
unregistered taxpayers and examine their situation. This is one way to reduce
tax evasion and develop appropriate solutions to deal with it.
The ISTD Information Unit also processes data and information on its
database. Thus, it can identify people who reached the threshold of tax
registration limit and those who fail to register voluntarily.
The ISTD thanks the
taxpayers who have voluntarily signed up for the general sales tax network.
