Expert Insights on Trends and Projections
Saurabh Agarwal, Tax Partner, EY India, said, “While the recent surge in tax collections, especially in states like Delhi, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, can be linked to the festive season, it’s too early to celebrate this as a broader economic trend. Month-on-month collections have declined, even after the festive boost.”
Economic Outlook and Regional Highlights
Agarwal added that considering the recent GDP data for the September 2024 quarter, “we anticipate a slowdown in tax collections over the next four months.”
The global geopolitical scenario and potential consumer spending cuts could further exacerbate short-term economic growth, Agarwal pointed out.
However, “the uptick in collections from states like Jammu & Kashmir, Bihar, Sikkim, Mizoram, Tripura, Assam, and Odisha points towards positive economic momentum in these regions,” Agarwal highlighted.
