State budget collected in first 4 months reaches $19.3bln

The state budget collected taxes from land use tax, traditional lottery tax, dividend collection and after-tax profits of state-owned enterprises. The money collected from the domestic sector gained 12.3 billion USD or 32.4% as expected.

In addition, the export and import activities in the first 4 months saw a high growth rate, with a turnover of 144 billion USD. However, implementing the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreements with more than 90% of 0%-export and import tax commodities made the collected budget from this sector as low as it was in 2017.
