New Local Administration Tax in Syria
24-Feb-2015
DAMASCUS - The Syrian government has issued new regulations to impose a local administration tax of 10% as to the total amount for any receipt, which encompasses all the IP works related receipts (trademark, patent, design, renewals, annuities, recordals etc…). The Property Protection Office has put the aforesaid tax into effect as of February 15, 2015.
This local administration tax was previously implemented on the local applicants only in Syria, but it has been now implemented on the foreign applicants as well.
We, at Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP), will not surcharge the said imposed tax, but will add it, as it is, to the total charges.
