The report also noted that the new structure includes the establishment of a new sector under the heading “Trading Commitment” which is a compiled sector that includes the central department for combating evasion, intelligence and data analysis; in addition to a department for servicing taxpayers and streamlining foreign trade.  He said the department hopes to upgrade the level of combating evasion based on scientific measures.
