General Revenue Account - Draft Estimates of Revenue

78.

Turning now to 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.

79.

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.
