Andhra Pradesh recorded 16 per cent year-on-year growth in commercial tax collections in June 2026 while net GST grew 21 per cent.
Total collections for the first quarter (up to June 2026) rose to Rs 15,323 crore from Rs 12,480 crore a year earlier — a 22.78 per cent growth — led by net GST, which grew 25.07 per cent (from Rs 7,978 crore to Rs 9,978 crore), alongside a 21.28 per cent rise in VAT on petroleum products. In June 2026, total collections across all tax heads reached Rs 4,830 crore, up 15.93% from Rs 4,166 crore in June 2025.
Cumulatively through June 2026, total collections across all sectors reached Rs 15,323 crore, up 22.78% from Rs 12,480 crore in the same period last year.
Net GST collections for June 2026 rose 21.35 per cent year-onyear, from Rs 2,591 crore in June 2025 to Rs 3,144 crore. Net GST accrues to the State and reÀects consumption within it.
The increase is driven by improved tax compliance, stronger enforcement, enhanced revenue monitoring and broader economic activity.
Andhra Pradesh’s 21% growth exceeds the national average of 9% (excluding imports) and leads the southern states — ahead of Karnataka (11%), Telangana (11%), Tamil Nadu (11%) and Kerala (8%), with Odisha at 8%.
