&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;But indirect tax is inequitable as it is a burden for both the rich and the poor alike&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The growth in tax collection in relation to GDP growth has improved over the past couple of years under the Modi regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013-14, the final year of the UPA regime, tax buoyancy hit a four-year low at 0.71. Since then, it has improved to 1.23 in 2014-15 and 1.35 in 2015-16. While the improvement is good for the economy, the reliance on indirect taxes to improve tax buoyancy is not comforting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a week back, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and P Chidambaram were at loggerheads over the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Jaitley waxed eloquent over the higher tax buoyancy, Chidambaram pooh-poohed the claim and asked how there could be higher tax buoyancy when GDP growth estimates are moderating. On Friday, the Central Statistical Office had projected a lower growth of 7.1 per cent for 2016-17.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tax buoyancy is an important indicator of the efficiency and responsiveness of tax revenue mobilisation to GDP growth. It is calculated as a ratio of percentage growth in tax revenues to growth in nominal GDP for a given year. Tax is said to be buoyant if the gross tax revenues increase more than proportionately in response to a rise in GDP figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Tax buoyancy is an important metric to know the expected level of government borrowings from the debt market,&amp;rdquo; said Sujoy Das, Head &amp;ndash; Fixed income at Invesco Mutual Fund. He added that higher tax buoyancy would mean the government would borrow less &amp;mdash; keeping interest rates lower &amp;mdash; while giving room for corporates also to borrow at lower rates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the purpose of calculation, gross tax revenues of both the Centre and the States were taken into consideration given that the tax sharing percentage keeps changing. For instance, the Fourteenth Finance Commission last year increased States&amp;rsquo; share in Central taxes to 42 per cent from 32 per cent earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having a tax buoyancy figure of more than one has a salubrious impact on the fiscal deficit ratios, finds a study. A 2014 IMF study of 34 OECD nations found that about half of them who were able to improve their deficit ratios had long-term tax buoyancy figures above one.

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Hindu Business Line Research Bureau&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But indirect tax is inequitable as it is a burden for both the rich and the poor alike&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The growth in tax collection in relation to GDP growth has improved over the past couple of years under the Modi regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2013-14, the final year of the UPA regime, tax buoyancy hit a four-year low at 0.71. Since then, it has improved to 1.23 in 2014-15 and 1.35 in 2015-16. While the improvement is good for the economy, the reliance on indirect taxes to improve tax buoyancy is not comforting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week back, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and P Chidambaram were at loggerheads over the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Jaitley waxed eloquent over the higher tax buoyancy, Chidambaram pooh-poohed the claim and asked how there could be higher tax buoyancy when GDP growth estimates are moderating. On Friday, the Central Statistical Office had projected a lower growth of 7.1 per cent for 2016-17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tax buoyancy is an important indicator of the efficiency and responsiveness of tax revenue mobilisation to GDP growth. It is calculated as a ratio of percentage growth in tax revenues to growth in nominal GDP for a given year. Tax is said to be buoyant if the gross tax revenues increase more than proportionately in response to a rise in GDP figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tax buoyancy is an important metric to know the expected level of government borrowings from the debt market,&amp;rdquo; said Sujoy Das, Head &amp;ndash; Fixed income at Invesco Mutual Fund. He added that higher tax buoyancy would mean the government would borrow less &amp;mdash; keeping interest rates lower &amp;mdash; while giving room for corporates also to borrow at lower rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the purpose of calculation, gross tax revenues of both the Centre and the States were taken into consideration given that the tax sharing percentage keeps changing. For instance, the Fourteenth Finance Commission last year increased States&amp;rsquo; share in Central taxes to 42 per cent from 32 per cent earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a tax buoyancy figure of more than one has a salubrious impact on the fiscal deficit ratios, finds a study. A 2014 IMF study of 34 OECD nations found that about half of them who were able to improve their deficit ratios had long-term tax buoyancy figures above one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/tax-buoyancy-improves-thanks-to-indirect-levy/article9466851.ece?homepage=true&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/tax-buoyancy-improves-thanks-to-indirect-levy/article9466851.ece?homepage=true&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;But indirect tax is inequitable as it is a burden for both the rich and the poor alike&lt;br /&gt;

The growth in tax collection in relation to GDP growth has improved over the past couple of years under the Modi regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013-14, the final year of the UPA regime, tax buoyancy hit a four-year low at 0.71. Since then, it has improved to 1.23 in 2014-15 and 1.35 in 2015-16. While the improvement is good for the economy, the reliance on indirect taxes to improve tax buoyancy is not comforting.&lt;br /&gt;

Tax buoyancy is an important indicator of the efficiency and responsiveness of tax revenue mobilisation to GDP growth. It is calculated as a ratio of percentage growth in tax revenues to growth in nominal GDP for a given year. Tax is said to be buoyant if the gross tax revenues increase more than proportionately in response to a rise in GDP figures.&lt;br /&gt;

The growth in tax collection in relation to GDP growth has improved over the past couple of years under the Modi regime.<br />
<br />
In 2013-14, the final year of the UPA regime, tax buoyancy hit a four-year low at 0.71. Since then, it has improved to 1.23 in 2014-15 and 1.35 in 2015-16. While the improvement is good for the economy, the reliance on indirect taxes to improve tax buoyancy is not comforting.<br />
<br />
About a week back, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and P Chidambaram were at loggerheads over the issue.<br />
<br />
While Jaitley waxed eloquent over the higher tax buoyancy, Chidambaram pooh-poohed the claim and asked how there could be higher tax buoyancy when GDP growth estimates are moderating. On Friday, the Central Statistical Office had projected a lower growth of 7.1 per cent for 2016-17.<br />
<br />
Tax buoyancy is an important indicator of the efficiency and responsiveness of tax revenue mobilisation to GDP growth. It is calculated as a ratio of percentage growth in tax revenues to growth in nominal GDP for a given year. Tax is said to be buoyant if the gross tax revenues increase more than proportionately in response to a rise in GDP figures.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Tax buoyancy is an important metric to know the expected level of government borrowings from the debt market,&rdquo; said Sujoy Das, Head &ndash; Fixed income at Invesco Mutual Fund. He added that higher tax buoyancy would mean the government would borrow less &mdash; keeping interest rates lower &mdash; while giving room for corporates also to borrow at lower rates.<br />
<br />
For the purpose of calculation, gross tax revenues of both the Centre and the States were taken into consideration given that the tax sharing percentage keeps changing. For instance, the Fourteenth Finance Commission last year increased States&rsquo; share in Central taxes to 42 per cent from 32 per cent earlier.<br />
<br />
Having a tax buoyancy figure of more than one has a salubrious impact on the fiscal deficit ratios, finds a study. A 2014 IMF study of 34 OECD nations found that about half of them who were able to improve their deficit ratios had long-term tax buoyancy figures above one.
