Previously, individual taxpayers with personal property rentals or those acting as lottery and insurance agents, and multi-level sales had to go to the tax offices to submit their tax declaration forms or send then by e-mail. Then, the taxpayer was required to be present at a commercial bank, or the State Treasury offices to pay the money, which takes a lot of time and expenses.
