Tamil Nadu's GST receipts up 17% post-settlement

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The state retained 17% more in Goods and Services Tax (GST) in September 2026 than a year before, even as gross collections in the state fell in five of the first six months of this financial year, an official note from the commercial taxes department said.
53% : The gap, the note argues, reflects the design of the tax.
52% : But the amount the state kept after the Centre settled inter-state taxes rose to Rs 7,320 crore from Rs 6,270 crore a year earlier.
