The lecturer at the University of Information Technology and Communication Dr. Yassin Nadib Al-Sultani participated in the ninth and twentieth annual international scientific conference organized by the College of Administration and Economics at Al-Mustansiriya University, in cooperation with a number of Iraqi, Arab and international universities and the Central Bank.

Al-Sultani’s participation came through a joint scientific research entitled «The Role of Digital Government in Enhancing Tax Revenues – Studying the UAE Experience with the Possibility of Benefiting from It in Iraq», with the participation of a researcher from the University of Babylon – College of Administration and Economics, T.A. Sabreen Taher Mahmoud.

The research aims to shed light on the reality of the tax system in Iraq, which suffers from a low percentage of tax contributions to public revenues, as a result of its reliance on traditional methods for determining tax bases and collection methods, in addition to administrative and technical problems that lead to the loss of a large portion of these revenues.

The study found that the UAE has successfully achieved a complete digital transformation in the field of digital government, which has effectively contributed to enhancing the efficiency of the tax system and increasing revenues. He also concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the necessity of adopting a digital identity system in Iraq because of its pivotal role in reducing the phenomenon of tax evasion and improving public revenue
