tax revenues of about
JD199.3 million and an increase in non-tax revenues of about JD204.8 million.
The increase in tax revenues is due to the rise in income and
profits tax revenues to JD227.5 million, as a result of the improvement in tax
commitment and compliance of taxpayers in submitting
tax returns.

government/budget during the first seven months of the current year amounted to
JD6.156 billion, compared to JD5.888 billion during the same period of the
