The original revenue

8.5 per centon the assumption at that time of GDP growth of around

formed 818 in 1986 and 60 in 1987. As we

we have seen, actual economic

growth has been considerably better. I now expect the revenue

per cent yield on General Revenue Account to be 9 above the original estimate. Combining General Revenue Account and fund account revenue the increase on the original estimate is 11. Stamp duty at $50 billion is nearly double the original estimate; whilst salaries tax, profits tax, motor vehicle first registration tax and land sales revenue, all of which normally benefit from a strong economic performance, also have higher

than expected yields.
