In the framework of a partnership between the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) and the Office of the Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities (BSEIPH), Miradin Morlan, the Director General of the DGI confirmed the existence of tax benefits to specific service providers (hospitals and educational institutions) who have provided assistance to persons with disabilities in applying Articles 19 and 40 of the Act of 13 March 2012 on the integration of persons with disabilities.

He states that the amounts of expenses incurred are deductible from the tax fees of the hospital or educational institution. To benefit from these tax benefits, the providers must provide supporting evidence (photos, medical papers certified by the Ministry of Public Health or the BSEIPH).

The implementation of the law of 13 March 2012 on the integration of people with disabilities reflects the will of President Jovenel Moïse, to work to respect and promote the dignity of human rights for an inclusive society.
