India’s tax burden shifted from boardrooms to petrol pumps during Covid-19

Hindustan Times  

The provisional Gross Tax Revenue collection of the Union government was ₹20.24 lakh crore in 2020-21. On a year-on-year basis, corporation tax collections saw the biggest decline, whereas Union excise duties had the biggest jump. Taxes on profits had the smallest share in overall tax basket since 2009-10 The share of corporation tax collections – taxes on profits of companies – in GTR in 2020-21 is the lowest since 2009-10. The fall in share of corporation tax collections in is likely a result of a sharp cut in corporation tax rates which were announced in September 2019. However, the fact that income tax collections fell by a much smaller amount than corporation tax collections during 2019-20 and 2020-21 shows that owners rather than their white-collar workers had a better deal when it came to tax rates.
