The government expects that after the implementation of GST bill the tax revenue will increase, as the bill is expected to simplify and harmonise the complex indirect tax regime in the country and reduce the cost of production, thereby making industry more competitive.
In the medium term expenditure framework released last week the government expects higher economic growth, GST and other policy measures to help lift gross tax revenues to 10.9% of gross domestic product (GDP) in FY18 and 11.1% of GDP in FY19. The government expects to bring more attention to capital spending. It wants to set aside more funds for capital spending and expects to show a higher allocation from next fiscal.
Government will take proactive measures for enhancement of the capital component within its total expenditure and also sees total spending decline from estimated 13.1% of GDP in FY17 to 12.2% of GDP by FY19 by curtailing the growth in non-developmental expenditure.
