    Tax collection in FY23 likely to be ‘far better’ than Budget estimate: Revenue Secretary

    This, despite customs duty and excise duty concessions, he said.

    This, despite customs duty and excise duty concessions, he said.

    Revenue Secretary Tarun Bajaj on Thursday said tax revenue collections in the ongoing fiscal year were expected to be ‘far better’ than the Budget estimates.

    In the last fiscal year, indirect taxes grew 20% and direct taxes at 49%. The tax-to-GDP ratio in FY22 jumped to 11.7% – the highest since 1999. In FY21, the ratio was 10.3%.

    The country’s tax collections soared to a record high of ₹27.07 lakh crore last year, compared with the Budget estimate of ₹22.17 lakh crore.

    Mr. Bajaj said the government was able to collect ₹5 lakh crore more in taxes than anticipated for 2021-22.

    “While we are starting the new financial year and are in the month of June, I would need another one month to be sure as to how we are going ahead with the revenue figures.

    “But whatever indicators I have at the moment, I feel very optimistic, and think this year again, we will be able to do far better than we thought initially when we were making the Budget as to how we will do,” Mr. Bajaj said.

    This was in spite of the fact that there had been some concessions on customs duty, more so on the excise duty on the indirect taxes, he said.

    Mr. Bajaj was speaking at the Iconic Week celebration as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, to mark 75 years of India’s independence.  The event was organised by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).

    On the Goods and Services Tax (GST) front, there had been healthy growth of revenues, he said.

    “I am very hopeful that in the current year, the average revenues would be close to between Rs 1.40-1.50 lakh crore for the year as a whole as far as GST is concerned,” Bajaj said.

    Even on the direct taxes front, the initial indicators are good and there should be a healthy growth of tax revenues out there also, he noted.

    Speaking on the economy, he said currently, the country is facing some challenges on inflation, rising current account deficit, fiscal deficit and currency valuation.

    “I think at this point of time, in our desire to control inflation both RBI and the government have taken a few steps and I hope these steps will bear fruit, and we will be able to see stability in our macro indicators in the times to come,” he added. PTI HV ANU ANU
