GST collection in May increased as the taxpayers liable to pay TGST by end of April made payments during the first week of May, which is one of the main reasons for the increase in revenue collection during May.

As the deadline for submission of the 2015 BPT return and making payments 30 April 2016 falls on a holiday, deadline extension to 2 May 2016 is also one of the reason for the increase in revenue collected during May.
