During the visit, ETO President Metin Güler stressed that paying taxes is a duty for all citizens and noted that traders in Eskişehir are among the top in fulfilling this responsibility. Güler conveyed ETO members’ requests to the Tax Audit Board, noting that conducting tax audits through the Bursa center complicates and extends the audit process for Eskişehir taxpayers.
