He urged the customs and revenue employees to take into consideration the constantly changing nature of trade and business. Stating that internal revenue and customs are intricately related, he said, “Monitoring of trade and business from the revenue perspective would be easier if the customs identified which goods came legally and which did not.” Minister Mahat stated that many goods have now been brought under the tax net and the transaction volume and the amount of income can be known from that. “The number of service-based business like hotels, restaurants etc is increasing.
How many new business enterprises have been registered and their transaction volume should be constantly monitored. They should be linked to the tax system,” he added.
