Direct tax collection at Rs 5.47 lakh crore till Feb 13

23 Feb 2016 Evaluate

The total collection from the direct taxes which include personal income tax and corporate tax stood at Rs 5.47 lakh crore as on February 13 2016. This amount is 68.7 percent of the total budget target for the current fiscal year 2015-16.

Though the government is likely to face a shortfall of Rs 40,000 crore in direct tax collection for the current fiscal, the shortfall would be made good as the indirect tax revenues are likely to overshoot budget target by a similar margin. Out of the total tax revenue target of Rs 14.5 lakh crore for the current financial year, Rs 7.96 lakh crore was estimated to come from direct taxes (corporate and income tax) and another Rs 6.5 lakh crore from indirect taxes (customs, excise and service tax).

With an aim to improve ease of doing business, the government is likely to begin a sweeping revamp of direct taxes in the Budget 2016-17 that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will present next week. This move comes as the Narendra Modi government has pledged a predictable and non-adversarial tax regime. Under this there will be two themes driving the revamp, such as simplification and rationalization. It will help to create more positive perception of India’s tax environment.
