Direct tax collection up by 11.6% at Rs 3.37 lakh crore during April-October, 2013

07 Nov 2013 Evaluate

Amid prevailing economic slowdown, the gross direct tax collection rose by 11.6 percent to Rs 3.37 lakh crore during April-October period of 2013 from Rs 3.02 lakh crore reported in the same period of previous year. Meanwhile, the government has set direct tax collection target of Rs 6.68 lakh crore for 2013-14, envisaging a growth of 19 percent, as against Rs 5.65 lakh crore in 2012-13.

Direct taxes mainly include corporate tax and personal income tax, the biggest sources of revenue for the government. However, the government has managed to raise more than half the budgeted corporate tax and personal tax for current fiscal, reflecting that things could be finally looking up. Gross corporate tax grew by 8.2% in the reported period to Rs 2.09 lakh crore from a year earlier, more than half the Rs 4.19 lakh crore budgeted during current fiscal. While, Personal income-tax receipts rose by 17.9% to Rs1.25 lakh crore, which was more than half the budgeted amount of Rs 2.4 lakh crore for this fiscal year.

Further, net direct tax collections rose by 13.33 per cent to Rs 2.84 lakh crore during April-October, 2013 as against Rs 2.51 lakh crore in the year ago period. Securities Transaction Tax (STT) collection stands at Rs 2,645 crore, while, wealth tax collection posted a growth of 5.86 per cent to Rs 560 crore, from Rs 529 crore. The government has been taking measures to enhance tax collection as the fiscal deficit of the country touched 76% of the budget amount in the first half of the current fiscal. Meanwhile, the government expects that it can achieve the set tax collection target during the current fiscal as Indian economy is likely to gain some momentum in second half of FY14 on the back of good farm sector growth and some recovery in investments and core industrial sector.
