The tax mobilisation so far is from 64.4 per cent of the 59.57 lakh taxpayers registered with the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the number is likely to go up after all taxes are accounted for, he said.PTI report that Jaitley said, Rs 14,894 crore have come in as Central GST, Rs 22,722 crore as State GST and Rs 47,469 crore as Integrated GST, which is levied on inter-state movement of goods and imports. Out of the IGST collection, Rs 20,964 crore have been on account of imports, he said, adding that Rs 7,198 crore have come in from cess imposed on demerit goods.
