Speaking at the 4th Media Festival on Tax Issues Wednesday night Askari said: "By the Fifth Development Plan all the current expenses of the government are supposed to be met through tax earnings."
"The execution of this program demands a ground work in terms of culture for developing tax revenues. In all the countries, taxation is seen as an instrument of financial policy and its indexes are constantly observed in financial sectors," he pointed out.
"At this moment tax indexes in our economy are still behind the developed, or even similar countries to us," Askari added.
Referring to the fact that currently the Iranian gross domestic product (GDP) ratio to tax revenues is 8 percent, he said that regarding the economic potentials of the country the rate is possible to be increased by 12 percent.
