Abstract
Indirect taxes, particularly in developing countries, have been deemed as essential for the finance of development. However, it has been widely known reality that this creates shrinking effect on the private sector savings. On the other hand, the efficiency and productivity of tax revenue are also important issues as well as taxation. Taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT) and Private Consumption Tax (PCT) have been deemed as primary tools for modern taxation. In this study, we investigate the situation of tax revenues before and after 1985 in which VAT law was eacted. The further legal amendments across the years which have been made in order to improve the efficiency of VAT, have been evaluated together with relevant data.
