The Parliament Oversight Committee was informed by Treasury officials that they have recommended the Excise Department to cancel the liquor license of distributors who have not paid tax.
The Parliament Oversight Committee observed a decline in government revenue over the past two months compared to the same period last year.
The Committee also raised concerns about the failure of the Excise Department to address issues such as non-payment of taxes and the use of fake stickers by liquor license holders, despite instructions from the Ministry of Finance. Expressing dissatisfaction over the lack of action, the Committee emphasized the urgency of implementing recommendations to safeguard government revenue.
