Paying taxes

چکیده
Imagine a woman named Amina who owns a manufacturing company in Morocco. In 2004 she had to make 28 payments and spend more than 44 days (358 hours) to comply with tax regulations. Today, thanks to changes over the past 7 years, her administrative burden is lighter. The government merged many taxes and eliminated others, and now Amina needs to make only 17 payments a year as measured by Doing Business. A new electronic filing and payment system, now fully implemented, saves Amina 15 days a year (120 hours). This is time she can invest in developing her business. “New technology makes compliance easier and more transparent,” said Mahat Chraibi, a partner at PwC Morocco. “This is one example of how technology helps to bridge the development gap.”
