Aided by revival of economic activities and better compliance, the Centre’s advance direct tax collections from companies, LLPs and individuals rose by 33% on year to about Rs 1.01 trillion in Q1FY23.
Till June 16 of the current financial year, net direct tax collections (post-refunds) stood at Rs 3.39 trillion, up 45% on year, and up 171% over the same period in FY21 and 103% over the corresponding period in FY20.
