Recently appointed Commissioner General of Excise Saman Jayasinghe yesterday said he is committed to meet the new revenue targets, which is a challenging task.
He said it is not impractical as some have interpreted it, but a challenging task to meet the Rs.217 billion revenue target set up by the Treasury.
“As the head of one of the three main revenue generating arms of the government, I am committed to meet these targets to stabilise the economy,” Mr. Jayasinghe said.
He said they are formulating new plans in the future for revenue generation and expecting to hold discussions with the IMF representatives too.
