What is Government Budget ? Explain the role of government budget in influencing allocation of resources in the economy.
Answer: Government Budget is an annual statement, showing item-wise estimates of receipts and expenditures during a fiscal year.

In India, we use progressive taxation, i.e., higher taxes from rich people and distribute these receipts through various welfare activities.
Question. Explain how the allocation of resources can be influenced in the government budget through taxes, expenditure and subsidies.
Answer: Through the budgetary policy, Government aims to reallocate resources in accordance with the economic (profit maximisation) and social (public welfare) priorities of the country. Government can influence allocation of resources through:
(a) Tax concessions or subsidies : To encourage investment, government can give tax concession, subsidies etc. to the producers. For example, Government discourages the production of harmful consumption goods (like liquor, cigarettes etc.) through heavy taxes and encourages the use of ‘Khaki products’ by providing subsidies.

The budgetary measures by which it can be reduced are :
(a) Progressive taxation.
(b) Increasing government’s expenditure.
(a) Progressive Taxation : Government can intervene to promote equity and reduce inequality and poverty, through the tax and benefits system, progressive tax system means more tax from those on higher levels of income and redistributes welfare benefits to those on lower incomes.

Answer:
(a) Government can start units in the public sector. It can give tax concessions to private producers. It can also give subsidies or any other incentives.

Question. Explain the basis of classifying taxes into direct and indirect tax. Give two examples of each.
Answer: A tax is a legally compulsory payment imposed by the government. The basis of classifying taxes into direct and indirect tax are as follows : (a) Final Burden : Direct taxes are those taxes the final burden of which falls on that very person who makes the payment to the government. On the other hand, indirect taxes are those which are paid to the government by one person but their burden is borne by another person. (b) Shifting of Tax : Direct taxes cannot be shifted to other persons whereas the indirect taxes can be shifted. (c) Progressiveness : Direct taxes are generally progressive. Their real burden is more on the rich. On the other hand, indirect taxes are generally regressive. Their real burden is more on the poor. Example : A shopkeeper pays GST to the government but usually recovers it from the customers as a part of price of the commodity sold. So, impact of GST (an indirect tax) is ultimately shifted to the consumers. But the impact of income tax is to be finally borne by the tax payer himself. He cannot shift its burden onto others. Direct Tax : Income Tax, Corporate Tax. Indirect Tax : Service Tax, Excise Duty.
Question. Classify the following taxes into Direct and Indirect tax. Give reasons for your answer. (a) Corporation tax (b) Entertainment tax (c) Excise duty (d) Income tax.

(c) It is indirect tax as its impact and incidence are on different persons. (d) It is a direct tax as its impact and incidence are on the same person.
Question. Distinguish between the following. Also give an example of each. (a) Direct tax and Indirect tax (b) Revenue Expenditure and Capital Expenditure.
Answer: (a) An expenditure that neither creates an asset nor reduces a liability is a revenue expenditure and an expenditure that either creates an assets or reduces a liability is called capital expenditure. (b) A tax whose impact and incidence is on same person is a direct tax and tax whose impact and incident can be on a different person is an indirect tax.
Question. (a) “Fiscal deficit is necessarily inflationary in nature”. Do you agree? Support your answer with valid reasons. (b) Elaborate ‘Economic Growth’ as an objective of government budget.
Answer: (a) The term fiscal deficit is the difference between the government’s total expenditure and its total receipts (excluding borrowing). Such borrowings are generally financed by issuing new currency which may lead to inflation. However, if the borrowings are for infrastructural development this may lead to capacity building and may not be inflationary. (b) The term ‘Economic Growth’ refers to a sustained increase in the real GDP of the economy OR an absolute/net increase in the total volume of goods and services produced by an economy. This is an essential objective of the government budget as the budget can be a very effective instrument for targeting the economic growth. This can be achieved by providing tax rebates, infrastructural stimulation etc.
Question. Explain the meaning of the following: (a) Revenue deficit (b) Fiscal deficit (c) Primary deficit

Question. What is the difference between Revenue Expenditure and Capital Expenditure ? Explain how taxes and government expenditure can be used to influence distribution of income in the society.

Question. Distinguish between : (a) Direct tax and Indirect tax (b) Primary deficit and Revenue deficit.
Answer: (a) (a) Direct Tax : A tax which is paid by the same person on whom it has been levied is termed as Direct Tax. In case of direct tax, burden can not be shifted on other party, e.g., Income Tax. 1½ (b) Indirect Tax : It is a tax which is paid by one person and levied on other person. In case of indirect tax, burden is generally shifted on other party, e.g., Excise Duty. 1½ (b) (a) Primary Deficit : The difference between the fiscal deficit and interest payment is termed as Primary Deficit. Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit – Interest Payments. 1½ (b) Revenue Deficit : When revenue receipts are less than the revenue expenditures in a government budget, this short fall is termed as Revenue Deficit. Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure – Revenue Receipts.
Question. “Governments across nations are too much worried about the term fiscal deficit”. Do you think that fiscal deficit is necessarily inflationary in nature ? Support your answer with valid reasons.
Answer: Fiscal deficits are not necessarily inflationary; though they are generally regarded as inflationary. When the government expenditure increases and tax reduces, there is a government deficit and there will be a corresponding increase in the Aggregate Demand. However, the firms might not be able to meet the growing demands, forcing the price to rise. Hence, fiscal deficits are inflationary in this sense. 3 But on the other hand, initially, if the resources are under utilized (due to insufficient demand) and output is below full employment level, then with the increase in government expenditure, more factor resources will be employed to cater to the increasing demand without exerting much pressure on price to rise. In this situation, a high fiscal deficit is accompanied by high demand, greater output level and lesser inflationary situation. Hence, whether the fiscal deficits are inflationary or not depends on how close is the original output level to the full employment level.
