Govt sure of meeting revenue target
Play
The government is confident that it can meet the revenue target for fiscal 2016, as it could collect more than the revenue target in the first 11 months to August.
Krisda Chinavicharana director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office, said Wednesday that the government collected revenue of Bt2.181 trillion during the first 11 months of fiscal 2016, up 9.1 per cent from the same period last year.
The rise was attributed to the transfer of Bt56.27 billion by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission to state coffers that it collected in upfront fees from 900MHz and 1800MHz licence-holders.
