Telecom Company in Dispute With ATRA Over Tax Payments
The Roshan telecom company, one of the few telecommunication providers in the country, has filed a dispute with the Afghanistan Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (ATRA) over the payment of its 2 billion Afs ($25 million) debts in taxes to the government.
Roshan officials said that based on a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Finance signed in 2020, it is paying the debts in installments over the span of five years, but ATRA said the debts should be paid at once.
The main office of Roshan was heavily damaged in a truck bombing near its headquarters in downtown Kabul in 2017. This led the company to not pay its taxes on time.
