The consultation is centred on increasing the state's own tax and non-tax revenues while improving revenue buoyancy, collection efficiency and financial self-reliance.

The government has sought responses from the general public, business associations, academicians, research scholars, and institutions involved in public finance.  

Suggestions have been invited through email and should preferably be submitted by August 11, 2026. The Finance Department said responses may be sent in English, Tamil or both. The email address notified for submissions is tnrac@tn.gov.in.

The listed areas include GST, Stamp Duty and Registration, State Excise, Motor Vehicle Tax, Mining, Non-Tax Revenue, and General. Officials also said suggestions connected with any other aspect of the state's revenue will be accepted, even if they do not fall under these categories. 

Committee Formed to Review Revenue Options 

The Revenue Augmentation Committee is headed by economist Montek Singh Ahluwalia, former Deputy Chairman of the erstwhile Planning Commission. He has also served as a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister.
