Indirect tax collections surges by 46.2% in first month of the FY

13 May 2015 Evaluate

The first month of the new fiscal is pointing to a smart recovery in the domestic economy, as the Indirect tax collections rose at a fast clip in April compared to same period last year. There was 46.2% rise in indirect tax collections, with central excise contributing the most. In all, the government raised Rs 47,747 crore through indirect taxes in April, 7.4% of the Rs 6.47 lakh crore budgeted for 2015-16.

As per the data released by the Finance Ministry, Customs collections were up 23.6% to Rs 14,286 crore, while Service tax collection was up 21.2% to Rs 15,088 crore, mainly due to increased tax rates proposed in the budget. Service tax rate was raised to 14% from 12.36% in the budget, while the government allowed the tax concessions to automobiles and select white goods sectors to lapse at the end of 2014, effecting rise in excise duty.

The development has come as a pleasant surprise for the government as strong revenue growth from the beginning will help government start spending early, which is considered crucial to reviving investments. Usually collection in the first month of the fiscal gets neutralized owing to refunds of higher tax payments by taxpayers in the month of March and the growth remains muted in the first few months of the year.
