Total fees charges are expected to increase by 24.7 in 2016 in comparison to the 2015 Rectification Budget figure. This is mostly due to improvements in the
collection, administration and monitoring procedures in the line ministries, as well as the growing services that the Government provides. In particular, dividends profits
and gains, visa fees, property rentals and vehicle registration fees are expected to increase. This is due to higher dividends from the Central Bank, greater controls in
immigration, more follow ups on payment of Government property rentals and an increasing number of vehicles in Timor-Leste respectively. Projections for outer years
are also expected to continue a positive trend, following the improvement and reinforcement of collection mechanisms in line ministries.

in the 2015 Rectification Budget.

held i the Go e

x Public institutions that collect revenue x Public institutions that do not collect revenue
x Public companies All of the entities that are legally autonomous will now be set up in a manner such
that none of their expenditure is subject to control or verification by the Ministry of
