L. Paul Bremer, Coalition Provisional Authority

“ Noting that CPA Order Number 37 established a new Tax Strategy for 2003 and
that CPA Order Number 49 established a new Tax Strategy for 2004,
Emphasizing that effective administration of the Tax Strategy requires increased
capacity of the Tax Commission,
Recognizing that additional time is needed to develop the infrastructure for
effective tax collection,
I hereby promulgate the following:
Section 1
Purpose
The purpose of this Order is to revise the interim tax strategy to suspend the
collection of taxes on income until the appropriate infrastructure can be
established. ”

“ Relation to Existing Law
Any provision of Iraqi law that is inconsistent with this Order is suspended to the
extent of such inconsistency.
Section 6
CPA/ORD/30 April 2004/84
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105) . ”
