April 25, 2012, 6:25pmThe Aquino administration expects a much lower budget deficit next year on the back of higher revenue collections of the government’s two main tax agencies, data from the Department of Finance (DoF) showed yesterday.

The finance department expects the government’s nominal budget deficit to reach P241 billion next year, lower by 13.6 percent compared with the P276.1 billion ceiling set the by the government’s economic managers for 2012.

The government’s fiscal gap assumption for next year is equivalent to 2 percent of the country’s economy as measured by its gross domestic product (GDP).

Premised on a more positive economic outlook for next year, the finance department expects that the government would generate P1.78 trillion in revenues, higher by 14 percent compared with P1.56 trillion target for this year.

The finance department said the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs’ tax efforts are expected to increase by 0.5 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively next year.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
