June 8 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 53 0

Tamil Nadu recorded a modest growth of 6.8% in the State’s Own Tax Revenue (SOTR) during 2025–26, despite registering 10.83% economic growth.
SOTR increased from ₹1.80 lakh crore in 2024–25 to about ₹1.92 lakh crore in 2025–26.
SOTR mainly consists of State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) and Taxes on Sales and Trade.
SGST collections rose marginally from ₹70,886.77 crore to ₹72,008.47 crore, a growth of 1.6%.
The slow growth is attributed to the GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate rationalisation implemented in September 2024.
Tamil Nadu had also recorded a gap between economic growth and tax revenue growth in 2024–25, when the economy grew 11.19%, but SOTR grew only 7.74%.
