Own Tax Receipts vs Share in Central Taxes

State governments have the authority to impose certain taxes which generates receipts for them. Apart from these, states also receive resources from the total receipts of central taxes, which is collected by Union Government but a part is shared with states based on the recommendations of the finance commissions. Both these combined make the total tax collection for the state.
