Government Budget Mean ng


A government budget is a legal document that is often passed by the legislature, and approved by the chief executive-or president. For example, only certain types of revenue may be imposed and collected. Property tax is frequently the basis for

municipal and county revenues, while sales tax and/or income tax are the basis for state revenues, and income tax and corporate tax are the basis for national revenues. he two basic elements of any budget are the revenues and expenses. !n the case of the government, revenues are derived primarily from taxes. "overnment expenses include spending on current goods and services, which economists call government consumption# government investment expenditures such as infrastructure investment or research expenditure# and transfer payments li$e unemployment or retirement benefits. %udgets have an economic, political and technical basis. &nli$e a pure economic budget, they are not entirely designed to allocate scarce resources for the best economic use. hey also have a political basis wherein different interests push and pull in an attempt to obtain benefits and avoid burdens. he technical element is the forecast of the li$ely levels of revenues and expenses.

"overnment levies high rate of tax on rich people and lower rate on lower income group. Again government provides subsidies and amenities to people whose income level is low. +ore emphasis is laid on equitable distribution of wealth and income.

Again, government has to allocate resources into areas where private sector initiative is not coming, e.g., public sanitation, rural electrification, education, health, etc.
