Revenue and expenditure

Budget Review 2022–23 Index

Christopher McGann

The following figures use data from Budget Strategy and Outlook: budget paper no. 1: 2022–23 to show the Australian Government’s major sources of revenue and key areas of expenditure by selected Government Finance Statistics functions. Budget papers and broader reporting of these data conventionally use nominal values, which do not account for inflation. These figures have been converted to 2020–21 dollars (see ‘Change to Real $’) to allow for inflation adjusted comparisons using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) results and forecasts from Budget paper no. 1 (p. 6).
