Net direct tax receipts grows 16.45% to ₹15.82 lakh crore till mid-December

Live Mint  

The Centre’s direct tax collection from corporations and individuals after adjusting for tax refunds has reached ₹15.8 trillion so far this year, jumping 16.45% over the previous year and outpacing the budget estimate. While non-corporate tax collection from individuals and other entities like partnerships and local authorities, after adjusting for refunds, recorded a 22% jump so far this year to ₹7.97 trillion, the same from corporations improved 8.6% to ₹7.42 trillion, the Income Tax Department said on Wednesday citing revenue figures up to 17 December. With over a quarter left, corporate and non-corporate tax collections--mostly personal income tax collections—have reached about 72% of the full-year target of ₹22 lakh crore, showed data. “ tax authorities are increasingly using technology to match income declared in ITRs with information from various sources like banks, financial institutions, and property registrars.” Maheshwari said, “Increased tax collections is a positive sign for the country as the government can have more funds to spend on public projects.” The Income Tax department on Tuesday launched a new campaign to boost tax compliance by sending text messages and emails asking assessees to correct mismatches between the information the authority has about the transactions done by them and what has been disclosed in their tax returns.
