This chart shows the ratios of tax receipts to GDP and the call on resources to GDP from 2000-01 to 2017-18. The tax-to-GDP ratio is expected to rise from 21.6 per cent in 2013-14 to 23.2 per cent by the end of the forward estimates. Call on resources as a per cent of GDP is expected to fall from 26.4 per cent in 2013-14 to 25.5 per cent by the end of the forward estimates.

Chart 2: Revisions to total receipts estimates since the 2013‑14 MYEFO

This chart shows that since the 2013-14 MYEFO, total receipts have been revised up by around $3.0 billion in 2014-15 and by around $7.0 billion over the four years to 2016-17. The chart decomposes the revisions into variations that stem from policy devisions and variations that stem from parameter and other variations.

Chart A2: Budget forecast errors on nominal non-farm GDP growth and taxation receipts growth (excluding CGT)

This chart plots the Budget forecast errors on nominal non-farm GDP growth and on tax receipts growth (excluding capital gains tax) from 2002-03 to 2013-14. The vertical axis depicts the forecast errors, n percentage points, on tax receipts growth. The horizontal axis depicts the forecast errors, in percentage points, on nominal non-farm GDP growth. In 2013-14, the forecast error on tax receipts growth is expected to be around -3.9 per cent, while the forecast error on nominal non-farm GPD growth is expected to be around -1.1 per cent.
