Solution

I Disagree with the above statement.

Reason:

  1. Revenue from fees and penalties is considered non-tax revenue. The government typically collects less revenue from non-tax sources compared to tax sources.
  2. The government earns revenue from fines and penalties only when individuals break the law.
  3. However, it cannot be assumed that a large number of people will repeatedly violate the laws of the country.

Thus, fines and penalties are not a significant source of revenue for the government.
