April was the highest-ever GST revenue collection at Rs 1.87 crore

April was the highest-ever GST revenue collection at Rs 1.87 crore

Introduction:

The consequences of the GST (goods and services tax) modifications in the previous year continue to resonate even though the fiscal year 2022-2023 is over. Businesses reorganized their processes in the preceding fiscal year, and various GST changes were made to stay up to the continuously changing tax requirements. That portion of the price of the products and services placed up for sale is taxed under all three tax systems. The name "goods and services tax," or GST, is figurative. The GST rates explain this. A company that has been created following the GST law must charge GST in addition to the price for the products and services it sells.

GST collection by Delhi:

The overall revenue from GST reached an all-time high in April 2023 of Rs 1,87,035 crore, which is Rs 19,495 crore higher than what was collected in April 2022, which is less than Rs 1,67,540 crore.

GST receipts for April 2023 are 13% more than GST receipts for the same month of the previous year. On April 20, 2023, 9.8 lakh purchases totaled Rs 68,228 crore, the most tax gathered in a single day.

CGST is Rs 38,440 crore, SGST is Rs 47,412 crore, IGST is Rs 89,158 crore (which incorporates Rs 34,972 crore received on import of goods), and taxes is Rs 12,025 crore (such as Rs 901 crore gathered on import of goods). These amounts make up the total GST revenue that was received in April.

The government paid CGST and SGST a total of Rs. 45,864 crores and Rs. 37,959 crores, respectively, from IGST. After normal development, the combined income for April 2023 for the CGST and the SGST is Rs 84,304 crore and Rs 85,371 crore, respectively.

According to a notification from the Finance Ministry, the revenues for April 2023 were 12% more than the GST receipts for the same month in the previous year.

The month's internal transaction earnings (including those from the import of services) were 16% higher than they had been in the corresponding month last year. The total GST receipts are more than Rs 1.75 lakh crore for the first time.

9.0 crore electronic way bills were produced in total in March 2023, an increase of 11% above the 8.1 crore electronic way bills produced in February 2023.

The officials claimed that the amount entering the state funds differs from the amount that was provided by the Centre. "The Delhi government only receives the state's share of the IGST and the GST. A value-added tax imposed on alcohol and petroleum items is also applied when determining the government's actual tax revenue, according to an official.

The person continued, "Delhi's own GST and VAT earnings are currently being determined and will be available soon. A record amount of Rs 2,898 crore in state GST and VAT revenue was collected by Delhi in April 2022, approximately 25% more than in April 2021. According to officials, Delhi's GST and VAT collections are anticipated to be on pace with the total growth this year based on national patterns of higher GST collection. The GST is the primary means of tax collection for the Delhi government.

Other state's GST collection:

May witnessed an 11% increase in total national income, with 16 States reporting higher revenue growth, notably Meghalaya and Madhya Pradesh, where revenues rose by 23%, Mizoram, which saw a revenue increase of 52%, Arunachal Pradesh, which witnessed a revenue increase of 47%, and Delhi, which saw a revenue gain of 25%. Odisha saw a gain in revenues of 11%, Karnataka of 12%, Tamil Nadu of 13%, and Andhra Pradesh of 14%.

State-specific data on GST revenue, which represent GST money taken (not accrued), show that more than 20 states and U.S. territories experienced growth rates that were higher than the overall 11.5 percent increase in GST collections. 

It was the 12th consecutive month that flow was above 1.4 lakh crore, and the fourth consecutive month in 2022–23, that cash inflows were surpassing the 1.5 lakh crore threshold. The growth in GST receipts in March was the quickest thus far in 2023. Only one month before, in April 2022, were sales higher than those of March, at 1,67,540 crore. Revenues from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India increased by 13% in March to reach the second-largest monthly total of 1.6 lakh crore from the additional tax, with increases in revenues from domestically trade and service imports of 14% and 8%, respectively, from a year earlier.

Growth from import:

The deleted 2,000-rupee notes, which will be recognized as legal tender for a minimum of until September 30, may still result in increased consumer expenditure and the continuation of the fight against indirect tax evasion.

The 12% increase in import income breaks the three-month trend of declining growth, which ended in a 4.5% decline in April. This may portend a comeback in domestic expenditures on luxury goods.

Revenue from goods imports climbed by 29% between April 2022 and January 2023, while taxes on local trade and exports related to services rose by 22%. In February and March, the taxes on imported goods only went up 6% and 8%, correspondingly. The amount of GST taxes collected, which also hit an unprecedented high of Rs 12,025 in April, increased significantly in May to Rs 11,489 billion, of which just over Rs1,000 billion came from imports.

Conclusion:

In comparison to April 2022, Delhi's GST revenue in April totaled Rs 6,320 crore, an increase of 8%. The finance ministry reports that the Delhi government received Rs 5,871 crore from GST in April 2022. According to officials, the sum comprised unified GST as well as state and central GST. Experts predict that when new anti-evasion laws, such as the supplementary revenue authorities' operation on false registrations, are put into place, the double-digit growth will continue for the next few months.

From IGST, the government of India sent CGST and SGST payments of Rs. 35,369 crores and Rs. 29,769 crores, correspondingly. The Centre and the States together made Rs 63,780 crore for CGST and Rs 65,597 crore for SGST in May after the usual settling.
