B. Monthly Collection Goal, by Major Tax Type (Table 2) CY 2004 monthly goal for Excise Taxes was based on the figures given by the Large Taxpayers Service For the remaining types of taxes, CY 2005 goal was allocated monthly based on the refined monthly collection distribution (Net of Special Taxes) of CY 2004.
