Chaired by Ms. Linda Oum, the EuroCham Tax & Governance Committee met last week to align on key advocacy priorities and sharpen the agenda for the months ahead.
With the EuroCham White Book 2027 freshly launched, the Committee took a moment to reflect on what the previous edition delivered. Key progress can be seen in the recommendations on Benefits of Doubt for Taxpayer: The White Book 2024 highlighted the importance of stronger tax governance, greater predictability, and fairer review mechanisms for taxpayers facing audits and assessments (WB24 recommendations n°65–73).
Since then, the Royal Government established the Special Tax Audit Unit (STAU) through Sub-Decree No. 160 ANK.BK in July 2024, while the General Department of Taxation also adopted updated Standard Operating Procedures for tax audits in April of the same year.
EuroCham encourages the wider application of STAU audit methodologies and risk-based approaches across companies under the GDT’s supervision, to provide greater support to SMEs and the broader private sector.
