Finance Minister Faleh al-Sari issued an operational directive enforcing advance tax collection on monetary wire transfers starting October 1.
Baghdad requested immediate completion of technical readiness to implement the automated ASYCUDA customs system across all Kurdistan Region border crossings.
The measure aims to curb smuggling, eliminate document tampering, and unify non-oil customs revenue collection across Iraq.
Deploying ASYCUDA enables real-time, transparent data exchange between federal and KRG financial authorities. https://channel8.com/english/news/64967
