Yamanat – Taiz

Traders in Yemen’s southwest city of Taiz complain that the governorate’s tax office links sales tax to exchange rate differences.

For its part, the governorate’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry reported that many importers in Taiz city are complaining about the binding procedures of the so-called sales tax, which recently included local wholesalers, under the pretext of exchange rate differences.

The House called on the tax office to implement the law which requires payment of a 5% tax at the port during customs clearance.
