Business registration and verification generated US$650,722.75 for Timor-Leste’s state treasury from January to September 2026, according to SERVE, the public agency responsible for those services. Its executive director, Fausto Soares Dias, gave the figures to Tatoli in Dili on 27 October 2026.

The capital accounted for US$476,890.75, the largest contribution among the agency’s branches. Dias linked Dili’s contribution to the concentration of economic activity there. Collections elsewhere included US$26,817.00 in Baukau, US$20,122.00 in Bobonaru and US$19,237.00 in Kovalima.

The national revenue figure did not include collections from RAEOA, Dias said. The US$10,468.00 collected there went to the administrative region’s account instead of the state treasury.

On expenditure, Dias put SERVE’s third-quarter execution of its 2026 state budget at 77.0 per cent, with an estimated budget of US$1,164,965.10. He reported no difficulties in implementing the budget, explaining that funding was allocated only to salaries and goods and services, with no provision for minor capital expenditure.
