Study Notes
Public Revenue
- Public revenue is a branch of public finance, focusing on the state's income sources.
- Sources include taxes, commercial revenue (from public enterprises), administrative revenue (fees, fines), and gifts/grants.
- Government income is crucial to funding government expenditure, similar to production fueling consumption.
- Increased government tasks lead to rising expenditure, requiring increased income.
- Modern revenue objectives go beyond income generation; they influence production, employment, and economic planning.
- Different nations use a variety of revenue methods, but taxes (personal income, corporate profits, VAT, excises, international trade, property, payroll) and non-tax revenues (fees, fines, profits from state-owned enterprises) are common.
Meaning of Public Revenue
- Public revenue is defined in both narrow and broad senses.
- Narrow sense: Includes tax income, prices from public sector goods/services, and administrative fees/fines.
- Broader sense: Includes all government income during a period, including borrowing, and it's known as public receipts.
- Public revenue (vs. public receipts): Public revenue excludes repayment obligations (like borrowing).
Sources of Public Revenue (Key Categories)
- Taxes: Personal income, corporate profits, value added (VAT), excise, international trade, property taxes, and payroll taxes.
