The government
exceeded revenue targets in the revised budget in the fiscal year 2016-2017.
The revenue from all sectors was Ks360 billion higher than the target set by
the government, said an official from the Internal Revenue Department.
The revenue
target according to the revised budget was Ks5 trillion in the 2016- 2017
fiscal year.
The government
had collect revenue of over Ks1.62 trillion from commercial taxes, Ks30 billion
from lottery taxes, over Ks37 billion from stamp duty taxes, Ks600 billion from
special commodity taxes and over Ks2.37 trillion from incoming taxes, for a
total of Ks4.66 trillion.
Although the
revised budget targets revenue of Ks5 trillion, the revenue earned was over
Ks5.4 trillion. The revenue of the Myanmar government is the lowest when
compared to other Asian countries.
Therefore, the
government needs to ensure full collection of all the taxes due and to expose
tax evaders.
