Table B2 and B3:  Estimated Specific Purpose Payments to the States, Repayments of Advances, Advances and Interest Payments, 1999‑2000 and 2000‑01
Table B2 provides revised estimates for 1999-2000 of each State’s share of the items included in Table B1.
Table B3 provides budget estimates for 2000-01 of each State’s share of the items included in Table B1. As in other years, the distribution of assistance for these years under some programmes is dependent upon the recipient government undertaking to participate in particular programmes or approve particular projects. For a few programmes, final decisions on the distribution of payments among the States have still to be taken by the Commonwealth; for others, the final distribution for 2000‑01 will not be settled before further data become available. In most cases, provisional or notional estimates of the distribution are included. This does not commit the Commonwealth to a particular project or indicate that a State has agreed to participate in the programme.
SPPs ‘through’ the States are indicated in the tables by (*).
A summary of total payments ‘to’ and through’ the States is provided at the end of each table.
