New data reveals a critical blow to Iran’s state budget as real tax revenues plummeted by 60% in the first two months of the current Iranian year (1405) compared to the same period last year.
While the government has sought to shift its reliance from volatile oil exports to taxation and bonds, this strategy is now facing a severe "uncertainty trap".
Key highlights from the report include:
🛡️Total Tax Collection: Nominal revenues dropped by 29%, but when adjusted for inflation, the real decline reaches a staggering 60%.
🛡️Corporate Impact: Taxes from legal entities (companies), the largest budget contributor, saw a 59% real decrease.
🛡️Consumer & Wealth Taxes: Revenue from goods and services fell by 61% in real terms, while income tax revenue for individuals dropped by 64%.
Analysts point to a "perfect storm" of factors: business disruptions due to regional conflicts, persistent internet shutdowns, and the compounding pressure of international sanctions and a naval blockade on oil exports.
With both tax and oil revenues shrinking, the government faces an widening budget deficit that may force a reliance on the banking system, potentially triggering a new wave of liquidity growth and domestic inflation.

पहले मिडिल क्लास... और अब गरीबों की जेब पर मार?
दावे और हकीकत के बीच का यह अंतर देखिए! जहाँ एक तरफ सब्सिडी छोड़ने की बात कही जा रही है, वहीं दूसरी तरफ जो गरीब खुद से पूरा पैसा नहीं दे सकते, उनके सब्सिडी वाले सिलेंडरों की संख्या 9 से घटाकर सिर्फ 4 कर दी गई है।
बढ़ती महंगाई के बीच क्या यह जनता के अच्छे दिन हैं या बुरे?

🇺🇸 **A Question Worth Discussing: If America Is Doing So Great, Why Are We Still Spending More Than We Bring In?**
We often hear that the United States economy is strong — jobs are being created, markets are moving, and businesses are growing. That is encouraging, and we should recognize progress when it happens.
But here’s the question we also need to ask:
**If we are doing so well, why is the federal government still bringing in less revenue than it spends?**
In simple terms, when the government spends more than it collects in taxes and other revenue, we run a deficit. Over time, those deficits add to the national debt.
This doesn’t mean the country is “failing,” but it does mean we need a serious conversation about priorities.
Are we spending too much?
Are we collecting too little?
Are tax policies fair and effective?
Are we investing in things that truly strengthen the country long-term?
Are we holding leaders accountable for how money is used?
A strong economy should not just look good on paper. It should help create a stronger foundation for future generations.
Families and businesses have to make tough budget decisions every day. Government should be expected to do the same — wisely, responsibly, and transparently.
This is not just a Republican issue or a Democratic issue. It is an American issue.
We can celebrate progress and still ask hard questions. In fact, that is what responsible citizens should do.
**What do you think is the biggest reason our spending continues to outpace our revenue?**
Spending priorities? Tax policy? Interest on the debt? Waste? Something else?

That’s a lot of words just to say highlight how you’re destroying our economy and our state budget, Governor.
Try doing the opposite of what you’ve been doing to see improvements.
