The Antigua and Barbuda Inland Revenue Department has seen an improvement in tax collections, similar to figures recorded before the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commissioner Ralph Warner said that tax collection has continued to rebound from 2021 figures and has held steady so far for the year.
The Inland Revenue Department accounts for 53 percent of central government revenue through tax collection and 46 percent of the government's overall revenue.
Mr. Warner, who was addressing a tax forum recently, said that shutdowns and restrictions had significantly affected sales revenue as well as property tax and stamp duty in 2020.
