Russia's tax collection has been a problem, but look at this from Interfax: A total of 52.03 billion rubles was collected in taxes in the first quarter of 1999, the planned target being 48.84 billion, Russian Tax Minister Georgy Boos said at a briefing Wednesday. The ministry collected 19.32 billion rubles in March, 5.1% over the target of 18.15 billion rubles. ... And oil prices were VERY LOW for most of the first quarter. Much improvement to come here.
