Fiscal and Economic Outlook 76 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Revenue capacity is calculated as the ratio of: the Commonwealth Grants Commission-assessed per capita revenue a State could raise by applying the average rate (standardised revenue per capita); to the Australian average per capita revenue actually raised (standard revenue per capita). Revenue effort compares actual revenue collections with revenue capacity. Thus revenue effort introduces a policy element to the analysis given the linkage to the actual tax rates and base set by each jurisdiction. Revenue effort is calculated as the ratio of: the actual per capita revenue raised by each State; to the Commonwealth Grants Commission-assessed per capita revenue that a State could raise by applying the average rate (standardised revenue per capita). The Commonwealth Grants Commission (the Commission) assesses revenue capacity in its analysis of the relative fiscal needs of the States for Commonwealth financial assistance. The comparisons of the States assessed revenue-raising capacity and effort were made using 2001-02 data as this was the most recent data used by the Commission. Figure 7.1 provides a comparison of the Commissions assessment of total taxation plus public safety and emergency services charges and mineral royalties revenue-raising capacity and effort in 2001-02 for the States. The Territorys assessed effort and capacity in relation to dividends is not included in Figure 7.1.

The assessment in Figure 7.1 shows that the Territory has the second lowest revenue-raising capacity of any State in relation to the total of taxation, mineral royalties and public safety and emergency services, and that its revenue-raising effort is the lowest of any State. It should be noted that this assessment relates to 2001-02, which covers the period during which the Temporary Budget Improvement Levy was introduced.
