Economy Minister Seyyed Ali Madanizadeh says his ministry is firing back against outdated laws that make life difficult for entrepreneurs. And that's not all—the tax system is also getting a long-overdue makeover.
Speaking to a gathering of entrepreneurs, the minister praised business owners for keeping their heads above water in tough times, but made it clear: the government has heard their pain.
For months, ministry experts have been combing through piles of confusing regulations. The result? A fat list of useless, production-killing laws that are set to be wiped out.
"These obstacles are going straight to the government's economic committee," Madanizadeh declared.
Some of the changes need parliamentary approval, while others will be pushed through by the heads of the three branches. Either way, the message is clear—the bureaucracy is on notice.
In a refreshing twist, the minister is inviting entrepreneurs to speak up. Got a suggestion? Send it in. The government wants your ideas to make the reform package even stronger.
Madanizadeh also revealed that traditional, manual audits—which often lead to corruption and sleepless nights for business owners—are being shown the door.
What's coming instead? Smart, tech-driven systems that cut down on shady dealings and reduce the need for those dreaded face-to-face meetings with auditors.
"Transparency and efficiency—that's the goal," he said.
The tax reform bill is already sitting with Parliament's Economic Committee. If approved, officials say it could be a game-changer for the country's business climate.
