BEIJING cheap nike odyssey react flyknit , June 12 (Xinhua) -- China's fiscal revenue registered slower growth in May, climbing 3.7 percent year on year to 1.61 trillion yuan (236.95 billion U.S. dollars), the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said Monday.
The growth retreated from a 7.8-percent gain in April and a 12.2-percent increase in March.
"The growth rate was relatively low," the MOF said in a statement, attributing the slowdown to softened related economic indicators, continued tax breaks and a high base a year ago.
In the first five months cheap nike odyssey react , the fiscal revenue climbed 10 percent year on year to 7.72 trillion yuan.
The income from value-added tax (VAT), which accounted for nearly 30 percent of tax revenue last month, dropped 13.8 percent from a year ago to 404 billion yuan.
As a major move in tax reductions, China expanded VAT to the whole economy in May 2016 to lower corporate burdens, with all other business taxes abolished.
The MOF estimated falling VAT income dragged down the total tax revenue growth by 8.4 percentage points in May.
