China's tax revenues rose 10.3 percent year-on-year to 2.5858 trillion yuan (410.4 billion U.S. dollars) in the first quarter of the year, the Ministry of Finance said Tuesday.

The growth rate marked the slowest pace in three years, pulling back 22.1 percentage points from the same period last year, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

Revenues from major tax items saw slower year-on-year gains. Receipts from value-added tax, consumption tax and turnover tax rose 5.4 percent, 15.1 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, down 17.8 percentage points, 6.4 percentage points and 18.7 percentage points from a year earlier, the statement said.

Revenues from corporate income tax increased 20.5 percent during the January-March period, while those from personal income tax dropped 6.2 percent year-on-year, slumping 43.2 percentage points on the same period last year.
