AP nets GST Collection Of Rs 2,714 Cr In May
Vijayawada: Net GST collections in Andhra Pradesh reached Rs.2,714 crore in May, 2025 marking the highest amount collected for this month since the introduction of GST.
Making use of latest technologies like, the officials have proved not only effective tax administration but also showcased the positive economic momentum being witnessed in the State. The steady increase in tax revenue underscores the strength of
the State’s financial framework and the success of various initiatives designed to enhance tax compliance and enforcement, according to Babu A, Chief Commissioner of State Tax, Andhra Pradesh.
The net GST collections of Rs2,714 crore and IGST settlement of Rs1,524 crore in May 2025 represents the highest revenue for the month since the Andhra Pradesh Goods and Services Tax (APGST) Act was introduced in 2017.
Net GST collections increase in May 2025 compared to corresponding month last year reflects strengthened tax compliance, improved settlement adjustments, and a broader tax base within the State.
Babu said the growth in net collections is particularly significant because net revenue represents the actual revenue accrued to the State after accounting for IGST settlements and other components. While gross collections reflect the total tax paid, net collections provide a more accurate indicator of the State's fiscal health by considering the revenues available for expenditures.
It is pertinent to note here that the Government of India deducted Rs.796 crore in IGST settlement for April 2025 under the “Adjustment of Advance Apportionment to make up shortfall in IGST balance as on 31.03.2025 for the dues related prior to the June 2024."
Gross collections encompass the tax payments made by taxpayers under IGST, CGST, SGST, and CESS. These gross collections depend on the business transactions conducted during the month and reflect economic activity within the state.
However, actual revenue collections are determined by the State’s consumption patterns of taxpayers and consumers.
Net revenue collections represent the revenue received by the State in cash.
