JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Officials of the Revenue Department of eastern Nangarhar province on Saturday said their revenue has increased while shopkeepers in Jalalabad city, the provincial capital, complained of high taxes.
Shopkeepers asked officials concerned to reduce taxes considering slow market sales and high rent.
Pohanullah Sahak, director of Nangarhar Revenue Department, told Pajhwok Afghan News that they had collected 474 million afghanis in tax and non-tax income in the past few months.
The reason behind increased revenue collection is prevention of corruption and tax evasion, he said, adding that the revenue collection of the department has increased by 40 . . .
