Reasons Behind the Increase in GST Revenue Collection

The revenue collection for the month of April 2023 is 12% higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year. During the month, the revenues from domestic transactions (including import of services) are 16% higher than the revenues from these sources during the same month last year. There are several reasons behind this increase in GST revenue collection:

1. Increased Economic Activity

The first reason behind the increase in GST revenue collection is the increase in economic activity in the country. With the Covid-19 pandemic under control, economic activity has picked up in several sectors of the economy, leading to higher GST collections.

2. Simplification of GST Filing Process

The government has been simplifying the GST filing process in recent years, making it easier for businesses to comply with GST regulations. This has led to a higher number of businesses filing their GST returns on time, resulting in higher GST collections.

3. Better Enforcement of GST Regulations

The government has been cracking down on businesses that are not complying with GST regulations. This has led to better enforcement of GST regulations, resulting in higher GST collections.
