Turning now to the draft estimates of revenue, before

allowing for any new budgetary measures, total revenue on

General Revenue Account is estimated to be $46.5 billion (25).

This estimate reflects the good economic performance we have enjoyed in the current year, which will still be feeding through

into tax receipts in 1987-88.

As in 1986-87, profits tax receipts are again expected

to run ahead of economic growth. But I must be cautious in

estimating the yield in some other areas where the level of

activity in 1986 might not be fully sustained.
