IMF team seeking ways of boosting tax receipts

    ABIDJAN
    Meanwhile a delegation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is visiting Bangui to seek ways to boost tax receipts in CAR, AFP reported. It cited CAR officials as saying the experts were to hand over an IMF report on customs and duties, and help set up a value added tax in CAR. The head of the delegation, Patrick Fossat, said he was both optimistic and pessimistic over the country's financial authorities, stating that "bad habits" had prevented the collection of funds for state coffers, AFP reported.
