One trillion rupees deduction will be introduced as a result of the economic slowdown.

Mumbai, Ta. November 11, 2019, Monday

The Income Tax Department will introduce the government to cut a trillion rupees in the direct tax target for the fiscal year 1-3. As of October 1, the rate of growth in direct tax collection has been reduced to 5%. Growth rates have been lower due to slowdown in consumption and reduction in tax rates, sources in the Income Tax department said.

In the first seven months of the current financial year, corporation tax collection has increased by only 5.5 per cent after refunds, while the target for the whole year stood at Rs 1.8 trillion.

Personal income tax collection has also shown a growth rate of 5 per cent till October, while the target for the whole year is 5.9 per cent with a target of Rs 1.8 trillion.

In the first five months, direct tax collection stood at Rs 1.8 trillion, compared to a full-year rupee target of 5.5 trillion. In the current financial year, direct tax collection is projected to grow by 8.5%.

The department is expected to put Rs 1 trillion in the direct tax collection target and keep it at a practical level, an official said.

The economic downturn has resulted in the recovery of taxes, and even with the reduction in corporate taxes, it has become almost difficult to achieve the target. Companies will benefit from the deduction in corporate taxes but this will be seen in the long run. The Central Board of Direct Taxes is projected to hit Rs 1 trillion as a result of cuts in corporation tax rates of Rs. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaram has announced several steps in September to address the corporate downturn.
