Budget 2012- Summary of all tax collections

Posted in News May 25, 2012 - 04:34pm, Craig Simpson

This table outlines the New Zealand Government's planned tax collections for the 2012/13 budget year.

Actual tax collected for the previous four years is on the left and includes, for the sake of comparison, the previous Labour Government's final spending in 2008/09.

The numbers are drawn together from data released by the Minister of Finance on May 24, 2012.

Links to the primary sources used, from Treasury's website, can be found at the bottom of the page.

Figures for each allocation are in millions of NZ$.

Not all the difference between tax collected and expenditure needs to be borrowed. The Crown has other sources of revenue than tax. The biggest single reason is that significant portions of National Super payments are pre-funded in the Super Fund. In 2011/12 the Government is expecting to borrow about $13.5 billion gross, $5.9 billion net.
