The office collected Rs 3.54 billion against the target of Rs 3.5 billion. Lok Prasad Neupane, chief tax officer, said collection of revenue in 2009/10 was Rs 629.3 million higher than what was collected in the previous fiscal year.

The office collected Rs 271.2 million as income tax and Rs 3.2 billion as excise duty against the target of Rs 265.9 million and Rs 2.92 billion respectively. However, the office could only collect Rs 11.7 million as house rent tax, far lower than the target of Rs 23.4 million.
