They need to file their applications at https://tax.gov.ir  by August 14, IRIB News quoted Ali Rostampour, a senior official with INTA, as saying.

The budget law for the current fiscal (2019-20) requires healthcare facilities to pay 10% of the income of their staff physicians in taxes to INTA and physicians should undertake electronic monetary transfers by using POS machine to enhance the transparency of their transactions.
