Al-Obaidi told Al-Iqtisad News, “There are more than 8 million economically active people working in the private sector, and based on the average monthly income being around 600 thousand dinars, the value of the revenues collected for people in the private sector amounts to about 4 trillion Iraqi dinars, taking an average of the income tax rate.” The monthly rate is 7%.
He pointed out that the value of the monthly tax that is supposed to be paid by economically active people in the private sector is approximately 280 billion Iraqi dinars, while the annual tax is approximately 3.5 trillion Iraqi dinars.
This does not include the income tax imposed on employees in the public sector and salaries amounting to 40 trillion dinars annually, with a tax rate of 7%, so it will be The amount of income tax from public sector employees is 3 trillion dinars.
