Tax Authority Reports 800 Trillion Tomans Collected in First Five Months of 1405

Seyyed Mohammad Hadi Sobhanian, head of Iran's National Tax Administration, said to mark Government Week that 799,700 billion tomans in tax revenue was collected in the first five months of the Iranian year 1405, up 56.2 percent from the same period in 1404. According to Donya-e-Eqtesad's online desk, published Sunday, 8 Shahrivar 1405 (August 30, 2026), the increase came even as deadlines for corporate and individual tax filings were extended through the end of Shahrivar (late September).

Sobhanian said the administration has tried to work with businesses by extending statutory deadlines, giving provincial managers more authority, and speeding up tax refunds, adding that the higher revenue did not come from added pressure on taxpayers. He said recent investments in digitalization and data-driven systems have made tax collection possible without relying on costly traditional methods.
