The government's revenue collection in fiscal 2022, which ends on Sept 30, is expected to beat the target by 40-60 billion baht, says Krisada Chinavicharana, permanent secretary for finance.
Mr Krisada said the revenue is expected to exceed the target of 2.4 trillion baht, despite the government continuing with its subsidy for the diesel excise tax this year.
He said the excess revenue will be kept in the government's treasury cash balance, which is expected to reach 550 billion baht at the end of fiscal 2022.
