Local authorities in Marib Governorate, northeastern Yemen, inaugurated the operation of a "central scale" for collecting sales tax on goods entering the governorate on Monday, August 26th, 2024.
According to the official Yemen News Agency (Saba), Deputy Governor Abdullah Al-Bakri launched the central scale at the tax collection point at the northwestern entrance to the governorate's capital.
During the launch, Al-Bakri listened to a briefing from the director of the Taxation Department branch (western entrance to Marib Governorate), Abdo Shamlan, on the operation of the central scale, which was funded by the local authorities to enhance efforts to improve tax collection mechanisms.
Al-Bakri commended the efforts of the management and staff of the Taxation Department branch in the governorate, which have witnessed significant improvement in recent years.
He appealed to citizens and taxpayers to cooperate with the department in paying their legal tax fees, which contribute to the state treasury and benefit citizens through development, health, education, salary, and other projects.
