Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin stressed that the Kurdish leaders of Iraq if they are serious in terms of transparency , they should publish tax returns and oil contracts signed with foreign companies.

The iCord Daily website quoted in an article by Robin as saying that Nechirvan Barzani is not the first Kurdish figure to promise transparency. In 2016, Nechirvan Barzani, the prime minister at the time and now president of the region, signed a contract with Deloitte to audit revenues. Oil in the region. Qubad Talabani, Masrour’s aide, also boasted about the Kurdistan region’s work with PwC, but the problem is that the regional government never publishes the results of its audits or allows forensic accountants to have unrestricted access to its books. Indeed, Kurdish leaders use audits to distract more Of explanation ”.

He added, “Masrour Barzani was not only an Iraqi Kurdish citizen, but he was also a permanent resident of the United States, and his younger brother Mulla Mustafa“ Babu ”is an American citizen. As well as Maxi Barzani. Residents and citizens must file US tax returns, even if they reside abroad. In fact, the United States is one of the only countries in the world that practices citizenship taxes rather than residency taxes.

"The US Revenue Service has the right to tax its citizens and those who have permanent residency, even when they live abroad," he said. While some states have separate double taxation treaties with the United States, they do not dilute the paperwork required by filing tax returns and, in many cases, detailing the contents of foreign bank accounts. If Masrour does not submit his tax forms to the Internal Revenue Service, he may face criminal liability in the United States and lose his residency, but if Mulla Mustafa and Maksi fail to do so, they will face prison upon their return to the United States.

The report pointed out that “the tax returns do not reveal everything because Iraqi and Kurdish politicians often use relatives and close associates to deal with their financial affairs. Masrour is supposed to be using Sarwar Bidawi, a reportedly Dutch citizen, to deal with his money and assets in Iraq . Perhaps in the name of transparency, then, Masrour might not only release his private documents and order family members and other dual citizens who serve in the Kurdistan Regional Government to release their tax files abroad, but he might also force every Kurdish office holder to do so. Release deposits made by their various agents and business partners. Transparency does not require less than that. ”
