Khaberni - The measures taken by the government to ease financial burdens on citizens related to real estate registration fees, restructuring of vehicle fees, and support for the industrial sector have increased confidence in the national economy, which grew by 2.8 percent and contributed to a significant improvement in public finance revenues exceeding half a billion dinars.
Preliminary data on public finance indicators show an increase in local revenues by 578 million dinars at the end of 2025, an increase of 6.6 percent compared to 2024, reaching 9.312 billion dinars and achieving 98 percent of the targeted revenues according to estimates in the General Budget Law for the year 2025.
The data indicates that this rise in local revenues was achieved due to an increase in tax revenues by about 434 million dinars, or 6.8 percent, reaching 6.839 billion dinars, and an increase in non-tax revenues by about 144 million dinars, or 6.2 percent compared to 2024, reaching 2.473 billion dinars.
This achievement in local revenues signifies increased confidence in the national economy in light of the government's actions to broaden the tax base, combat tax and customs evasion and avoidance, ease the financial burdens on citizens, and facilitate procedures for them.
These measures included decisions related to stimulating the real estate sector such as exempting residential apartments over 150 square meters from 50 percent of the registration fees for the first time, granting discounts and exemptions on building and land tax (rooftops) and education tax, reviewing the tax structure of the vehicle sector through reducing total taxes (general and special) on vehicles, supporting local industry and enhancing its ability to compete with imported products by granting industrial projects in the provinces encouraging incentives, making adjustments to the customs tariff schedules excluding production inputs and local food materials, implementing a customs duty of zero value and subjecting postal parcels with a customs value not exceeding 200 dinars to a sales tax of 16 percent, in addition to extending the work of settlement and reconciliation committees for pending cases between taxpayers and the Income and Sales Tax Department and the Customs Department.
