revenue service
Government tax collector
A revenue service is a government agency responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws.
In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) handles federal taxes; in the United Kingdom, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) serves this function.
The term emphasizes the agency's role in generating government revenue rather than its regulatory or enforcement powers.
