SEREMBAN, Nov 27 — The target for non-tax revenue as envisaged under 2020 Negri Sembilan Budget amounting to RM242.69 million is realistic and has taken into consideration all projected revenue.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the drafting of the 2020 State Budget was based on the Treasury’s Circular.

“As a tradition, non-tax revenue is a major contributor to the state’s revenue collection compared to tax earnings.

“The record as at Nov 25, for non-tax revenue collected was RM251.27 million compared to the 2019 Budget’s target of RM225.1 million.
