Annex A

Payments to the States

This annex provides accrual estimates of Commonwealth payments to the States (and local governments). This includes Commonwealth advances (loans) to the States, including new advances, interest on advances and repayments of advances. Most of these advances were funded from borrowings made on behalf of the States under previous Australian Loan Council arrangements.

Each table presents estimated payments to the States for the period 2013‑14 to 2016‑17 as follows:
