The International Monetary Fund (IMF) urges imposing a 25% duty on lawmakers' duty-free vehicle imports to align with regular citizens' tax rates. This recommendation is part of efforts to increase revenue collection and reduce discrimination. The move follows reports of significant imports of duty-free vehicles by lawmakers and their families. Lawmakers currently enjoy various duty-free import privileges for vehicles, while ordinary citizens face high supplementary duties. Additionally, the government has introduced environmental surcharges for multiple car owners to mitigate environmental impact.
