The information was advanced this Monday by the acting administrator of the General Tax Administration (AGT), Tiago Santos, noting, however, that the decision on the taxation of salaries of the defense and security forces is the responsibility of parliament.
"It is not the AGT that makes this taxation [of police and armed forces agents], it is the system [SIGFE] and it is being prepared for the last adjustments for effective taxation", replied this Monday the person in charge of the journalists.
Speaking at a press conference summing up the activities of 2022 and the 1st quarter of 2023, Tiago Santos even spoke of resizing and parameterization of the SIGFE for subsequent taxation of the IRT to the military.
What the AGT did, he stressed, was to parameterize the system "and what is happening with the military and police is the resizing of this system, they need other parameterizations, other registrations", he argued.
"But, effectively, when everything is prepared, this will happen. If there is no taxation, once again we need to take the matter to the National Assembly and only this one should say yes or no, because the AGT does not have that power", he noted.
Military and police personnel remain exempt from deducting the IRT since 2020, the period in which the new IRT code in Angola is in force, "despite the diploma determining the obligation to pay this taxation for the first time", as reported by Jornal Expansão in December from 2022.
