The government's earnings in the form of GST increased by 11 percent year-on-year in November on the back of better compliance and increased festive spending by customers. This is the ninth consecutive month since March this year when the collection has been more than 1.40 lakh crore.
According to the Finance Ministry data released on Thursday, the Central GST (CGST) contributed Rs 25,681 crore to the total collection of Rs 1,45,867 crore. State GST (SGST) accounted for Rs 32,651 crore and Integrated GST (IGST) for Rs 77,103 crore. Rs 38,635 crore in IGST was collected from duties on imported goods. Of the total GST collection, Rs 10,433 crore (including Rs 817 crore collected from the import of goods) was raised through cess. Abhishek Jain, Partner (Indirect Taxes), KPMG, says that continued festive purchases, wedding season, and reconciliation of input tax credits at the end of the year have played an important role in increasing GST collections.
So far: Rs 11.91 lakh crore earned
Vivek Jalan, Partner, Tax Connect Advisory said, GST revenue is estimated to be 7.8 lakh crore in the budget of 2022-23. In this, there is an estimate of 6.6 lakh crore central GST and 1.2 lakh crore compensation cess. This means that the GST collection will be close to Rs 14.4 lakh crore.
Jalan says that if we look at the figures, the government has already received Rs 11.91 lakh crore in the form of GST collection till November.
Even if the GST collection remains at five lakh crore in the next four months, it will exceed the target by Rs 2.5 lakh crore, which will be 17% more than the budget estimate.
