PM : Efforts to safeguard public money should be ramped up
AMMONNEWS - Prime Minister, Omar Razzaz, stressed the importance of beefing up efforts made by the concerned oversight institutions in preserving public money and combating tax and customs evasion.
Speaking during a meeting with heads of Jordanian oversight entities, attended by justice, legal affairs, and the state for prime ministry affairs ministers on Sunday, Razzaz underlined the importance of keeping citizens and public opinion 'informed with all transparency' on mechanisms of public money spending, including external loans and grants.
Razzaz said the government is pressing ahead with implementing measures aimed to combat tax and customs-related evasion, calling on citizens to report any 'susceptible' corruption cases or a public money waste offense to the Jordan Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission (JIACC), or through the platform 'Bekhidmatikum' ('At Your Service' in Arabic) designed to deal with complaints and inquiries of citizens who flock public departments and institutions seeking to complete a specific transaction.
During the meeting, Minister of Finance, Muhammad Al-Issis, said the ministry's efforts, made through its Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) and Jordan Customs Department (JCD), seek to strengthen the tax collection procedures from all taxable sectors and reducing tax and customs-based evasion.
In turn, the supervisory institutions' chiefs reviewed the procedures eyeing to 'fortify' and preserve public money by tightening procedures related to tax collection and reducing customs and tax evasion.
