Letter from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, to the Foreign Office,'
London, No. 93-E., dated the 9th March 1938.
With reference to Mr. Seymour’s despatch No. 117-E of the 27th March,
1937 [S. No. (27) in F. No. 9-N/37], I have the honour to transmit to you
herewith the estimates of the budget for the Iranian year 1317 (the 21st
March 1938 to the 20th March 1939).
2. The budget has been balanced with a surplus of nearly twenty-four
thousand pounds, and as usual the press is full of praise and attributes this
satisfactory state of affairs to His Imperial Majesty.
3. The total revenue is estimated at 1,528,892,648 rials (just over 19
million pounds), an increase of 281,093,837 rials (3-5 million pounds) on the
budget estimates for 1937-38. Expenditure is estimated at 1,527,018,564
rials, showing an increase of 278,986,827 rials (3*4 million pounds) over last
year’s figure.
4. On the revenue side an increase of 15 million rials (£185,000) over
last year’s estimate is expected from direct taxation and 14 million rials
(£160,000) from indirect taxation. As so far there has been no indication
that the Government are contemplating the introduction of any new taxes,
the increases are anticipated from taxes already in force.
5. The receipt from Customs, which for the year 1937-38 were estimated
at 362 million rials (£4-5 million), are shown at 421 million rials (£5*25 mil
lion) in the estimates for the new year, an increase of 59 million rials. Re
ceipts from the monopoly companies are also expected to increase by 62
million rials (£775,000). Other notable increases include 46 million rials which
the mining industry is expected to yield, and 50 million rials from Govern?
ment investments.
