Government to meet FY16 tax revenue target of Rs 14.49 lakh crore

11 Feb 2016 Evaluate

Despite a likely shortfall in direct tax collections, the government will achieve its tax revenue target for the current year 2015-16 through a strong upswing in indirect taxes such as excise, customs and service tax. Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said that they are likely to exceed the collection in Indirect Tax by about Rs 40,000 crore in the current year and are positive to achieve 100 percent tax revenue target for the current year.

As per the latest revenue numbers, the tax collections between April-January showed a healthy growth of 33 percent in Indirect Tax and 10.9 percent in Direct Tax. Accordingly, as against the annual Budgetary Estimate (BE) target for tax collection of Rs 14.49 lakh crore, the government has received Rs 10.66 lakh crore, which is 73.5% of the BE target. Both direct and indirect tax collection put together, government expects to meet the annual BE target of revenue collection for the current year without any shortfall.

The government will meet the revenue collection target set in the Budget for the first time in five years. Of the Rs 14.49 lakh crore tax revenue target set for the current fiscal year, Rs 7.97 lakh crore was estimated to come from direct taxes and another Rs 6.47 lakh crore from indirect taxes.

In 2014-15, the government had targeted Rs 13.64 lakh crore in tax revenues but at the end of the year it was revised downwards to Rs 12.51 lakh crore. During the year, direct tax collections were Rs 7.05 lakh crore, short of Rs 7.36 lakh crore target, while Indirect tax revenues were at Rs 5.42 lakh crore , short of the target of Rs 6.24 lakh crore.
