Areas of Concern : Non‑corporate taxpayers show almost no growth in gross taxes and declining advance tax, signalling pressure on small businesses or more efficient tax planning. The data shows the corporate sector is performing better than the non‑corporate sector, government tax revenue growth remains stable at 4–8% depending on the metric, & lower refunds boost the government’s cash position mid‑year.
