Indirect tax collections grows by 41% in April 2016

10 May 2016 Evaluate

Starting the financial year on a positive note, Indirect tax collections which include customs duty, central excise duty and service tax, surged by 41 percent to Rs 64,394 crore during the month of April, compared to Rs 45,417 crore in the first month of last fiscal 2015-16, on back of additional revenue mobilisation measures such as increase in excise duty on petroleum products and also due to an economic recovery.

Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said that service tax collections grew by 27 per cent to Rs 18,647 crore in April 2016, as against Rs 14,585 crore in the same month last fiscal. Besides, the central excise duty mop-up in April went up 70 per cent to Rs 28,252 crore against Rs 16,546 crore in the year-ago month. Collection of customs duty witnessed 22 per cent increase to Rs 17,945 crore in April, as against Rs 14,286 crore in the same month a year ago. Adhia further said that the growth in indirect tax revenues would have been 17% if one does not take into account the additional revenue mobilization measures adopted by the government.

In the current financial year, mop up through indirect tax is budgeted at over Rs 7.79 lakh crore. In the Budget the government had also rationalized customs duty and excise duty to promote the Make in India initiative. Recently, in order to reduce litigation, the Central Board of Excise and Customs has identified about 7,300 indirect tax cases and it plans to withdraw these cases from high courts and Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, as they are under the revised threshold limit.
