Maharashtra has reaffirmed its status as India's leading state for Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue. In the fiscal year 2025-26, the state's total GST, VAT, and Profession Tax collections reached ₹2,51,256 crore, marking a significant 12.6% increase from the previous year. GST alone contributed ₹1,86,991 crore, an impressive 14.6% rise, solidifying Maharashtra's position far ahead of other states.
The state's GST Department successfully surpassed its budget estimates for the fourth consecutive year, achieving 100.2% of its target. This sustained growth highlights the resilience of Maharashtra's economy, with its expansion rate nearly double the national average. The department attributes this success to enhanced taxpayer compliance and dedicated administrative efforts.
To further boost revenue, the department has intensified its use of data analytics and feedback systems. This approach helps identify potential tax evasion and focuses scrutiny on high-risk taxpayers, while simultaneously supporting compliant businesses and improving the ease of doing business within the state.
