Deloitte Tax practice in Iraq

Increasing oil prices and developments in the security situation are encouraging foreign companies to invest in Iraq. The tax authority in Iraq is equally investing in their internal systems, and they have introduced new measures, such as electronic payment of taxes and establishment of the large taxpayers’ unit.

Given the lack of infrastructure and resources, tax compliance continues to largely remain a manual process. Therefore, being tax compliant in Iraq is inherently more challenging than in many of the other jurisdictions in which businesses typically operate. In addition, for new entrants to Iraq, it is key to be tax compliant from day one, as a lack of focus on tax matters is likely to hamper commercial operations in the future.
