The ministry attributed the rise in fiscal revenue to the growing economy, which had helped drive up tax takes, and to the low basis figures of last year and the increased tax takes after oil tax and fees reforms.
Of the total fiscal revenue for January-November, the central government collected 3.41 trillion yuan, up 6.7 percent year-on-year, while local governments collected 2.93 trillion yuan, up 12.1 percent.
In the first 11 months, consumption tax was up 86.7 percent year-on-year; corporate income tax up 3.6 percent; individual income tax up 5.3 percent; while duty tax income was down 21.5 percent; and stamp tax was down 52.6 percent.
Meanwhile, fiscal expenditure grew 20.9 percent to 634.99 billion yuan in November year-on-year. Fiscal expenditure rose 22.7 percent to 5.62 trillion yuan in the first 11 months year-on-year.
