4,1,7. Law on Transparency

On 10 December 2013, Act 19/2013 of 9 December on transparency, access to public information and good governance was published, entering into force a year later. The Tax Agency, in accordance with the provisions of the Law, created the Management Unit for the Right of Access to Public Information (UDAI), which, until December 31, 2020, resolved 716 requests for information, of which it forwarded 32 to other agencies and processed 684, of which it granted 332 (129 of them partially); denied 170; rejected 172; the applicant withdrew 7 applications and archived 3 others.

Of the 716 applications resolved, 84 of them were the subject of a claim before the Transparency and Good Government Council (CTBG), resulting in 15 being upheld, 11 being partially upheld, 41 being rejected, 6 being inadmissible due to being untimely, 4 being suspended within the deadline for issuing a resolution and, finally, as of December 31, 2020, there were 7 challenged resolutions on which the CTBG had not yet ruled.

Throughout 2020, the Tax Agency resolved 151 requests for information, of which it forwarded 4 to other agencies and processed 147, of which it granted 63 (27 of them partially); denied 30 and rejected 52, with the applicant withdrawing 2 applications.

Of these 151 requests resolved in 2020, 5 of them were the subject of a complaint to the Transparency and Good Government Council (CTBG), resulting in 2 being rejected and 3 contested resolutions on which the CTBG had not yet ruled as of December 31, 2020.

From the analysis of these requests it is observed that there are no questions that are repeated periodically. The most relevant topics include human resources, contracts, tenders, the fight against fraud and tax statistics.
