Govt’s direct tax collection increases to Rs 5.50 lakh crore till September in FY20

19 Sep 2019 Evaluate

The government’s total direct tax collection has increased to Rs 5.50 lakh crore as of September 17, 2019 for the fiscal year 2019-20 (FY20), up from Rs 5.25 lakh crore a year-ago. Though, as against a steep 17.5 percent higher tax collection budgeted for the full year, the government could mop-up only 4.7 percent more so far in FY20. The lower mop-up reflects the deepening slump in demand and overall growth. In the first quarter the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) slowed to a six-year low of 5 percent.

Of the Rs 5.50 lakh crore collections, advance tax rose a tepid 7.3 percent to Rs 2.20 lakh crore from Rs 2.05 crore. Besides, net tax collection is around Rs 4.5 lakh crore as compared to Rs 4.25 lakh crore as of date. April-September advance tax collection rose to Rs 2.20 lakh crore from Rs 2.05 lakh crore. Advance corporation tax rose only 3.5 percent, while the personal income tax paid in advance rose 7.5 percent.

The numbers are disturbing for the government as it has already used up as much as 77 percent of its budgeted fiscal deficit for the full year by July itself. This is 1.4 percentages point higher than the comparable period last year. Fiscal deficit crossed 77 percent of the annual target in July at Rs 5,47,605 crore, against a target of Rs 7,03,760 crore for the full year. In FY19, direct tax collection was Rs 50,000 crore short of the Rs 12 lakh crore target.
