Empirical results using time series data for Iran support our expectations in which the longer is the delay in government domestic revenues, the higher will he the inflation, in addition, the fiscal deficit should increase money supply, resulting in more inflation. The implication of the study conducted here is that a passive fiscal policy based upon inflation is dangerous. To control inflation, budgetary authorities should reduce substantially the government budget deficit. Furthermore, the tax administration is apparently responsible to give priority to reforming the tax revenue system. %U https://ier.ut.ac.ir/article_30955_1a842fae8d21ef5c21eaf1db48571248.pdf
