On Sunday, March 8, 2025, Hall (409) in the Humanities Building at Al-Mustaqbal University hosted a specialized workshop organized by the Department of Finance and Banking Sciences entitled: "Tax Concept and Calculation Methods." The workshop was held under the patronage of the President of the University, Prof. Dr. Hasan Shakir Majdi, and under the direct supervision of the Dean of the College of Administrative Sciences, Prof. Dr. Haider Ali Mohammed Al-Dulaimi. The session was presented by Lecturer Ali Hasan Kassar, who highlighted the strategic importance of taxation as a financial and sovereign tool. The workshop covered the following key pillars: The Concept of Taxation: Defined as a mandatory financial charge imposed by the state on individuals and corporations to secure resources for public services (such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure). Economic Dimensions: The role of taxes in redistributing national income and reducing economic disparities between different social classes. Tax Types and Calculations: An overview of tax types (Income, Sales, and Customs) and calculation methods, whether through flat rates or progressive systems that account for income levels. Achieving Tax Fairness During the workshop, the lecturer explained that modern systems, including Value Added Tax (VAT), primarily aim to achieve "Tax Fairness." These systems ensure that all taxpayers contribute to state funding in proportion to their actual financial capacities. The workshop witnessed significant attendance from students and professionals interested in financial and banking affairs, providing an opportunity for scientific discussion on how to enhance tax awareness within society.
