Direct tax collection sees 14% rise in first eight months of FY18

11 Dec 2017 Evaluate

Continuing its trend, the government’s revenue collection during April-November period of fiscal year 2017-18 has shown a healthy growth. Direct Tax collections, which comprise personal income and corporate tax, surged 14.4 percent to Rs 4.8 lakh crore in the first eight months ending November 2017, mainly on account of income tax mop-up from individuals.   

According to the Ministry of Finance, the collection up to November 2017 indicates that 49 percent of the annual budget target of direct taxes (Rs 9.8 lakh crore) has been achieved. In other words, the government has earned less than half of its full year target in April-November this fiscal. However, this is in line with the trend seen in FY 2016-17, where the same period saw 48.7 percent of the Budget Estimates of direct taxes being achieved.

Before adjusting for refunds, gross collections have rose by 10.7 percent to Rs 5.82 lakh crore up to November, 2017. Further, refunds amounting to Rs 1.02 lakh crore have been issued during April, 2017 to November, 2017.
