During the session, Hussam Abu Ali, Director General of the Income and Sales Tax Department, spoke about the achievements made by the department in the past years in digitizing
services, saying: “The department worked to transform into a digital department through 3 main stages, which was represented by providing services electronically, which numbered 65 services, as 1.7 million services were provided electronically last year.”

The second stage represents the transformation of the tax audit and inspection electronically through the inspection project in the field and electronic digital control, which was accompanied by the amendment of legislation, and the third stage included the transition to electronic partners, so it adopted a special system for electronic invoicing.”

For his part, the Director of the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Department, Colonel Engineer Omar Al-Quraan, said that most of the department’s services are already automated, which facilitated their transition to electronic services, but the traditional service is still faster than the electronic one due to the traditional coupon, which will be converted electronically soon, to make a qualitative leap in elect
ronic services, and there are currently 38 electronic services available.
