Birgunj Customs Office faces declining revenue collection
The statistics shows that the revenue collection has decreased by over Rs 970 million, said office chief Sewanta Pokharel.
The revenue has dropped notably after the banks tightened their loan investment in the purchase of vehicles as the main source of collecting revenue was tax for importing vehicles.
According to Pokharel, vehicles and petroleum products have major contribution in the revenue collection from Birgunj Customs Office therefore they failed to meet the target. RSS
