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).

Throughout 2021, the Tax Agency resolved 207 requests for information, of which it forwarded 4 to other agencies and processed 203, of which it granted 98 (39 of them partially); denied 15 and rejected 86, with the applicant withdrawing 4 applications.

Of these 207 requests resolved in 2021, 23 of them were the subject of a complaint to the Transparency and Good Government Council (CTBG), resulting in 7 being upheld, 2 being partially upheld, 1 upheld for formal reasons, 4 being rejected and 9 being challenged resolutions on which the CTBG had not yet ruled as of December 31, 2021.

From the analysis of these requests, it can be observed that there are questions that are repeated periodically, especially on statistical issues. The most relevant topics covered by the requests include human resources, contracts, tenders, the fight against fraud and tax statistics.
