  2. 22 JAN 2018 22 JAN 2018 Key things to watch for in this Budget Key things to watch for in this Budget BUDGET EXPECTATIONS 2018-19 The finance minister faces an interesting dilemma. The finance minister faces an interesting dilemma. The union government’s fiscal position can be judged to be in fantastic health purely based on taxes collected but the fact is not all of these taxes accrue to the Center !! So the finance minister will have to decide how to present the truth!  The IGST conundrum The IGST conundrum: The Center’s tax growth is primarily from IGST. Purists will argue that only half of IGST accrues to the Center and only that must be considered. Fiscal practitioners could argue that IGST is like a holding account and that there would be a base level of taxes in transit at all times. Some level of IGST could be a permanent feature in the union government’s float. We think a middle ground would be shown. We think a middle ground would be shown.  What will the FM present: What will the FM present: The budget will show a miss in FY18; 3.4% of GDP fiscal deficit instead of 3.2% target and below 3.5% achieved in FY17. FY19 is likely to be pegged at 3.2% of GDP (same as FY18 target).  Revenue: Revenue: Non-tax receipts like spectrum, RBI dividend and divestment would be scaled back slightly. Tax collections to improve on growth and greater compliance on GST. Optimistic tax buoyancy at 1.3 to account for scale back in non-tax targets.  Expenditure Expenditure: Subsidy will rise due to food (expansion of price deficit MSP), interest (affordable housing) and fuel (oil @ 65) offsetting benefits from DBT in fertilizers. Capex allocation will see greater thrust on irrigation, rural roads and rural housing.  Beneficiaries: (A) Beneficiaries: (A) Rural focus: Cement, FMCG and infra; (B) (C) (C) Corporate tax cut: FMCG, retail. (B) Affordable housing push: Banks, Cement, Realty;  Losers: Losers: All insurance companies – If corporate tax rationalization leads to higher tax rate for insurance companies who are currently paying 15%.  2
