A third zone, the Back Office, will handle the secure and efficient processing of requests away from public interaction.

He emphasized that the new network creates a modern, recognizable point of contact that merges physical assistance with digital capabilities. This initiative transforms existing tax service units into modern hubs, blending physical presence with digital transformation to ensure a consistent and high-quality service experience.
