AMMAN — Head of the Lower House Finance
Committee Mohammad Al-Saudi said that about JD8 billion is owed to the
government, according to Jo24.
Saudi said that funds owed to the Treasury have not been
collected for years, and this has caused a financial crisis for the government.
He called for collection mechanisms to recoup the outstanding debts instead of
imposing fees and increasing prices on citizens.

Saudi said that JD500 million is owed to the Greater
Amman Municipality alone and has not been collected for years, in addition to
the existence of outstanding balances between municipal departments that have
not been settled.
Saudi said that the government in 2020 was collecting
the taxes owed to it through settlements between the Income and Sales Tax
Department, companies, and taxpayers, and these funds add up to an amount of
JD8 billion that the government has been unable to collect.
