Following the introduction of tax exemptions and facilitations, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has raised the threshold of taxable revenues for businesses from 150,000 Afghanis to 2 million Afghanis and reduced the tax rate from 0.5% to 0.3% on amounts exceeding that threshold. This adjustment is set to take effect from the first day of Hamal 1403. These exemptions can have both positive and negative effects on the economy of Afghanistan. For example, they can improve the livelihoods of entrepreneurs and businessmen as the extra burden of consumption is lifted from their shoulders. Additionally, reduced consumption due to tax exemptions can lead to the development and improvement of businesses quantitatively and qualitatively, ultimately contributing to economic growth. Entrepreneurs can reinvest the exempted amounts into their businesses, leading to increased supply and employment in the economy, or they can spend it elsewhere, thus increasing demand. This simultaneous movement of supply and demand fosters economic growth.

2023 The year was the most important year of political, security, and economic problems and changes at the international level. In this year, the war between Ukraine and Russia intensified, the oppression of the oppressed people of Palestine reached its last limit, and Azerbaijan received Nagorno-Karabakh. The foreign policy of the United States of America regarding the Middle East has changed, and the inferiority, slavery, and helplessness of the Arab countries have been revealed. The position of the United States of America has been badly damaged at the international level due to the violation of human rights and its support for Israel. Economic developments took place in Afghanistan under the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, but the issue of girls’ education remained ambiguous. The region of the Islamic Emirate strengthened its relations, but its relations with Pakistan deteriorated a little on some issues, especially on forced migrants.
