Advance tax is payable on the tax liability arising from the estimated total earnings of the year. When advance tax collected by the Government goes up, it indicates the increased production/service output. But in caculating real GDP, inflation is also factored in.
More advance tax collected during the period, indicating growth of output because of higher earnings, more government spendings facilitating better infrastructure, development, and subsidies, etc.
