BEIJING Authentic Houston Astros Jersey , 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 Authentic Kansas City Royals Jersey , continued tax breaks and a high base a year ago.
In the first five months, 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 Authentic Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jers , 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.
Income from vehicle purchase tax increased 24.8 percent from a year ago earlier thanks to robust car sales, and the income from deed tax gained 28.9 percent. The income from resources tax jumped 67.2 percent due to rising mineral prices and the carryover effect.
Monday's data also showed that in May the central government collected 795 billion yuan in fiscal revenue, down 3.6 percent year on year, while local governments saw fiscal revenue expand 12 percent to 812 billion yuan.
In May, fiscal expenditure was up 9.2 percent year on year to 1.69 trillion yuan Authentic Miami Marlins Jersey , while those in the first five months rose 14.7 percent to 7.65 trillion yuan.
China pledged a more proactive and effective fiscal policy in 2017 to support economic growth, with the government fiscal deficit set at 3 percent of GDP, or 2.38 trillion yuan for the year, a year-on-year increase of 200 billion yuan.

From chickens catapulted across tables to meals dished up with a generous portion of sexual health advice Authentic Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey , Bangkok is doing a roaring trade in unusual dining experiences.
The Thai capital, renowned as much for its commitment to fun as it is for fiery cuisine, has embraced the odd, amusing and bizarre in a bid to lure customers through the door.
In the city suburbs, staff at Ka Tron restaurant delight customers by loading cooked chickens into a catapult and firing them across a stage where they are caught on a spike by a waiter riding a unicycle.
Despite the pressure that comes with live performance Authentic Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , their catch rate is impressive.
"We have been going 26 years and we have probably fired hundreds of thousands of chickens, but we have only dropped a few hundred," said restaurant owner Nattaset Rattanapipob.
It may be far from an everyday restaurant job, but the waiters say the trick seems to be working for the punters.
"The way we do things is better," said waiter Sorasak Pomkalong.
Across town a Japanese restaurant has deployed its own gimmick -- two large robots wheel up and down the tables delivering meals to diners.
Once the novelty wears off Authentic Minnesota Twins Jersey , customers at Hajime can then order the robots to dance.
But as with all things mechanical, robot waiters come with a risk of malfunction.
"During the first few hours of the day if the robot is stuck we have the support teams standing by," said Pimol Paitaku, marketing manager at Hajime restaurant. "Most of the time though it works."
Bangkok has plenty of unique dining experiences including Cabbages and Condoms -- which serves sexual health and family planning advice alongside noodles -- with the tagline 'our food is guaranteed not to get you pregnant.'
To emphasise the point, once customers have paid they get their change returned with a complimentary condom.
And while Thais are serious about their food Authentic New York Mets Jersey , people in the City of Angels appear willing to try anything.
"They are looking for unique experiences, whether that is something no-one else has eaten or some kind of performance, or something that attracts the eye," said food blogger Dwight 'Bkk Fatty' Turner.
"So I think all of those things combined makes Bangkok a very special city to eat in."
