The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohamed Maait, during his meeting with tax leaders as the tax-filing season 2024 kicks off, expressed his appreciation for all tax agents, the “financial judges,” for their dedication in fulfilling their duty to build their country and meeting the aspirations of the people for comprehensive and sustainable development.
He acknowledged that they are on a national mission to collect the state’s rights and spend on its security, education, and healthcare, as well as meeting domestic and external obligations, salaries, pensions, and more, stressing that the automated systems help all parties in consolidating tax justice by minimizing human intervention.
He turned his speech to tax agents, saying that they have already met the target and more, and he looks forward to achieving more during the tax-filing season 2024.
