(c) Indirect tax as percentage (%) of total revenue.
Indirect tax = $420m
Total Revenue - $860m
Therefore % = \(\frac{420}{860}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)
= 48.84%
(d) Non-tax revenue includes court fines, road tolls, grants, sales of government assets, licenses, royalties, aids, interest, dividends, rents and profit.
(e) Total revenue is $860 million.
Total expenditure is $1040 million
$860 - $1040 = - $180m
Since the total expenditure exceeds the total revenue, it is a budget deficit.
