In a bid to curb Mongolia’s shadow economy and increase tax revenue, the country’s parliament adopted legislation that offers amnesty to individuals and companies that declare hidden assets.
The Law on Economic Transparency, which passed Friday, protects people and companies from administrative sanctions and criminal punishment when they declare previously undisclosed assets. The protection doesn’t apply to political appointees or civil servants.
