TEHRAN, Iran, May 31
Trend:
Iranian Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance said that the launch of the United Department for Starting a Business will reduce the time for obtaining business licenses from 72 days to three days, Trend reports citing IRNA.
The new department replaces all the organizations that were empowered to grant licenses to start a business, so from now, the start-up applicant can obtain his/her licenses within a single department.
"So far, it would take an average of 72 days to obtain the necessary licenses to start a business; Iran has been ranked 178 in the world in this regard," Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Mohammad Ali Dehghan Dehnavi said adding that in the first-ranked country, obtaining the same licenses takes only half a day.
"The existence of pre-monitoring system in the country was the reason to lengthen this process in Iran, so we tried to turn to post-monitoring,” he said.
“With the approval of the Minister of Economy, the requirement of 55-day period to authenticate the application in the tax system has been removed, according to which there is no need to obtain an economic code,” said Dehghan.
