The results revealed that exercise of a 9% VAT does not have regressiveness on production sector and does not influence on income distribution. Further, average tax collection efficiency by production and consumption method in 2015-2018 was 39.5 and 0.32 percent and this level of VAT collection from production sector (considering its rate) is relatively low.
