India’s tax-to-GDP ratio to hit a record high of 11.7% of GDP in 2024-25: Revenue Secretary

The Hindu  

February 06, 2024 08:19 pm | Updated 09:05 pm IST - NEW DELHI India’s tax-to-GDP ratio is expected to hit a record high of 11.7% of GDP in 2024-25, led by an uptick in the more ‘equitable’ direct taxes, and the government will continue to simplify and rationalise the tax regime to reduce disputes, litigation and intrusive means of enforcement, Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra has said. Noting that frequent changes in tax rates “don’t help”, Mr. Malhotra said corporate and personal income taxes have been recently reduced, and he was hopeful that a high proportion of income tax payers will opt for the new tax regime that doesn’t allow deductions but offers a higher tax-free income threshold. As nominal GDP growth is expected to rise 10.5%, tax revenues are expected to grow at 11.5%.” While the Department of Revenue is not examining lapses at Paytm Payments Bank, the Enforcement Directorate steps in whenever there are issues of money laundering, and they do their job if the law is flouted, the Secretary said. With the deadline for new manufacturing units to avail a 15% corporate tax rate ending in March 2023, the top Revenue official said a lot of companies have already availed it, but next year’s tax returns will reveal the overall numbers.
