Is it the duty of a judicial authority to provide documents for a tax audit? With whom does the inherent duty lie?
Four simple questions for the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and the Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance
Mr. Mohsen Rezaei
Mr. Seyyed Ali Madani Zadeh
Greetings
Do you review the detailed and reasoned judicial order number:
140368990041419986 dated: 2024/10/30 issued by the special investigator for international affairs cases regarding the tax evasion of the Zavieh Financial Group? Why has it not been implemented by the National Tax Administration yet?
Question 1: Read the judicial notification. It made several officials at the Tax Administration simultaneously responsible for verifying the documents. Why, despite follow-ups by the acting head, the current minister, the ministry's protection and inspection units, and the investigator, has this important and widely relevant task not been carried out?
Question 2: The Tax Administration, despite numerous follow-ups by the investigator, showed such negligence that Sardar Haj Sheikh Hassan Eskandari-Nia appeared at the National Tax Administration and wrote that he does not see the need to provide documents and records for inspection under Article 181 of the Direct Taxes Law!
Why did the Tax Administration not file a complaint against him under Article 274 of the Direct Taxes Law?
Question 3: Why did Mr. Mohammad Hadi Sobhanian, the head of the National Tax Administration, in a confidential letter No. M/120889 dated 2026/6/7 to the head of the Inspection Center of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance (I will not publish it because it is marked confidential), state that no documents have been provided by judicial or supervisory authorities for a tax audit under Article 181 of the Direct Taxes Law, and therefore they cannot comment negatively or positively? Interestingly, he says that Zavieh Company has been dissolved!!
Is it the duty of a judicial authority to provide documents for a tax audit? With whom does the inherent duty lie? Has this organization ever summoned the complainants and reporters for leads?
Except for Zavieh Oil and Gas Investment Company, which was suddenly dissolved during the judicial investigations, and Sardar Sheikh Hassan himself became the liquidator! He also immediately collected all the company buildings! And, contrary to the law, he did not register the new address with the Companies Registration Office, and the investigator's question in a separate letter was about the application of Article 116 of the Direct Taxes Law for this dissolved company, not Article 181; which other company has been dissolved?
Question 4: Will the charges of tax evasion and Social Security claims of these companies be decisively and documentedly addressed in a separate case under investigation by Branch 1 of the Prosecutor's Office for Government Employees, and the negligence of both the Tax Administration and the Social Security Organization?
What is the fear and terror about uncovering the real income of these companies?
Is this how all other taxpayers are treated?
Are these documented reasons sufficient? Will you review them?
