Sources said yesterday the dramatic reduction in the budget deficit would result from the combined effects of the increase in the value-added tax (VAT) rate, the lifting of exemptions from the VAT, savings from the streamlining of the government bureaucracy and the administrative measures being implemented to improve tax collection.
