Taxpayers have the option of paying tax amounts due through electronic funds transfer. The process is simple and makes compliance easier, especially for those businesses and organizations with accounting and payment offices outside of Afghanistan.

The Electronic Transfer Process:
Step 1:
Complete the appropriate tax return for the tax due. Remember that electronic funds transfer is not the same as electronic tax return filing. Filing and payment are separate activities.

Step 2:
** Calculate the total amount of tax to be paid to the Ministry of Finance.
** All payments to the Afghanistan Ministry of Finance must be made in afghani.

** If transferring from an overseas institution you may choose to transfer using your local currency (US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, etc.)
** If you do send your payment in a currency other than afghani, your payment will be exchanged into afghani at the current Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) rate used at Da Afghanistan Bank on the execution date of the transfer.

** The exchange transaction may result in a credit or debit on your tax account at the Ministry of Finance if the rate of exchange varies on the day your payment is received from when the payment was originally made.
** The Ministry of Finance will issue periodic statements if your account has a credit or a debit, and an appropriate adjustment made on your next tax payment.

** If your account has a significant debit balance you may be required to clear this balance prior to your next tax payment.

Step 3:
Submit payment
If paying from an overseas institution, direct your financial institution to transfer your payment to:
Beneficiary: Ministry of Finance
Beneficiary Account Number: 1203041

If paying from a financial institution in Afghanistan, direct them to make payment to:
Da Afghanistan Bank, account number 1203041 for credit to the Ministry of Finance. The banking institution will have either a details or a comments field as part of their transfer process.

Step 5:
Submit tax forms to Large Taxpayer Office, Ministry of Finance, Data Processing Unit.
Once your payment is verified as received at Da Afghanistan Bank, the Ministry of Finance will contact your business using the contact details provided in your original email to us.
Once you have received this notification you will be required to submit your original tax form(s) to the Large Taxpayer Office (LTO) of the Ministry of Finance, Data Processing Unit.
