The businessmen will have the personal tax agent in the Revenue Service, announced the head of Revenue Service in the interview with commersant.ge. The mentioned issue was put on the agenda during the meeting with the Chairman of Government of Adjara in Fabruary of current year by the International Investors Association. The personal agent will help the entrepreneur with the tax payment law as well because of the frequent amendments in tax payment code. It will serve the businessmen during the company inspection and will simplify the cooperation between the tax department and the tax payers. Personal Agent will simplify the entrepreneur’s relationships with Revenue services and this service will be offered to businessmen in nearest future – said Giorgi Tskhakaia.
