Finance Ministry making strategy, working with states to shore up GST revenues

10 Sep 2018 Evaluate

Concerned by almost fourfold rise in the goods and services tax (GST) compensation to States for June-July, the Finance Ministry is making a strategy to shore up GST revenues and working with states to identify issues hindering their collections. There has been a spike in the bi-monthly GST compensation paid to the states by the Centre. The Centre paid Rs 149.3 billion to compensate states for revenue loss incurred in June and July, a nearly four-fold jump compared to Rs 38.99 billion paid for the months of April and May.

The amount of compensation to be paid to each state varies every month and there is no set pattern. The reason for increased compensation also varied from state to state. For instance, in one of the cases, a state saw a huge outgo on account of VAT refund following a court verdict. One of the options being considered is stepping up anti-evasion measures with a focus on top 30 taxpayers, but added that the Centre will ensure that the fix to the problem will not be intrusive on businesses. Data analytics will be put to use to examine the profile of top 30 taxpayers to study their tax payment pre and post GST implementation.

The Finance Ministry has targeted monthly GST collections to be Rs 1 trillion for this fiscal, but the actual mop up has fallen short of the target month after month. The only exception was the month of April in which the numbers exceeded Rs 1 trillion. The collections stood at Rs 940.16 billion in May, Rs 956.1 billion in June, Rs 96.48 billion in July and Rs 93.96 billion in August. The Centre had agreed to compensate the states for revenue loss on account of GST implementation for a period of five years.
