Syria: Whether dental technicians or other health professions are exempt from income tax or receive any other tax benefits because of their profession
According to a lawyer who practised in Syria for seven years there are no income tax benefits or exemptions from income tax specifically directed at health professionals, including dental technicians (22 June 1999). Attempts to contact the Syrian Dental Association to corroborate this information were unsuccessful within time constraints.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please see below the list of additional sources consulted in researching this Response.
