The Parliamentary Economic Committee expressed its support for charging services collection fees on Monday, today.
“There is a trend to enhance non-oil revenues by imposing taxes and organizing collection,” committee member MP Yasser Al-Hussaini stated in a statement to
He was of the opinion that “the government has the right to impose fees on stable services such as water and sewage, but it must ensure the continuity and quality of these services before imposing fees on them.” This was something that he thought about.
“Imposing taxes must be linked to the existence of new economic activities,” he emphasized.
He went on to say, “To be able to transform these revenues into an actual source that finances the operating budget, employee salaries, and the development of services, the government needs to address the gaps in collection and taxes.”
