IMO, you are doing it the wrong way! You have to talk to the tax office directly, and get an official answer.
You should build a freidnly relation with the tax office, they are not your enemy per se.
There was an official respond from the head of tax office about this issue and he confirmed it.
And you are probably from a developed country. You don't know how stuff work in a shithole countries. It is quite possible that if I pay money to a tax official he is gonna look away. But most likely there are gonna be other one who would like to get a piece of the pie
