The government has set a priority for 2006 onwards of curbing tax
evasion and boosting budgetary revenue, according to its revised

that tax payers are harmed by tax evaders.
In addition, Value Added Tax will be imposed on new housing and fuel
tax is to rise by 5.0% in 2006 to reach a 20% hike by the end of 2009
