Govt’s GST collection for October slows to Rs 83,346 crore

28 Nov 2017 Evaluate

The government’s revenue collection under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) slipped to Rs 83,346 crore in the month of October, from more than Rs 92,000 crore in the previous month, primarily because taxes on most commodities have come down. Till now, 95.9 lakh taxpayers have been registered under GST, out of which 15.1 lakh are composition dealers who are required to file returns every quarter. As many as 50.1 lakh returns were filed for October till November 26.

As per the data, GST collection in July was over Rs 95,000 crore while in August, the figure was over Rs 91,000 crore. Besides, the finance ministry has noted that a compensation of Rs 10,806 crore has been released to the states for the month of July and August 2017 and Rs 13,695 crore for September and October. Therefore, it said that the states’ revenues have been fully protected taking base year revenue as 2015-16 and providing a projected revenue growth rate of 14%.

Explaining the downward trend in GST revenue, the finance ministry stated that initially, Integrated GST (IGST) was paid on transfer of goods from one state to another. It also said that as and when the final transaction of these goods takes place, the credit for IGST is being utilized for payment of SGST and CGST and therefore, the inflow of new taxes is low. Further, it explained that since the overall incidence of taxes on most of the commodities has come down under GST, it would naturally have some implication on the revenues of the government.
