Summary of draft Estimates

68.

Taken together, the draft Estimates of revenue and

expenditure for 1988-89, before revenue measures, show a net

surplus on General Revenue Account of $5.6 billion and an

increase in

in the balances of the funds of $1.7 billion. In

total, therefore, a potential overall surplus for the year of

$7.3 billion is indicated (27).

69.

I have already suggested that there is scope for some reduction in taxation. In formulating my proposals, I have looked beyond 1988-89. I must emphasise that it will take time before the slower economic growth that I have forecast affects

our revenue yields. Furthermore, the full impact on revenue yields of any tax concessions I introduce will not be felt until

1989-90.
