A six-member team from the Ministry of Finance, the Customs and Excise Department, the Inland Revenue Department were invited to make their monthly report on revenues and expenditure<\/strong>. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The team shared graphs and other data displays showing what collections have been like for the major revenue-collection agencies, for the months of January to May 2024. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Customs and Excise Division collected $194 million in the five-month period; the Inland Revenue Department collected $257 million in the same period. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The obligations or expenditure exceeded the revenues; although, when compared to the same period of the previous year, there was a significant revenue increase. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Property taxes are still lagging, despite the discounts offered to those who pay early, and, despite the public urgings through media announcements. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Greater vigilance is required, it was agreed, in order to ensure greater compliance.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
