    The State Budet Financing Sources  




First: The Available Self Resources:

They are the main source to finance the current  and the capitalist public expenditure,  on which the credited resources are defined in form of loans and treasury bills and bonds. Consequently, they determine the scale of internal and external debt and its effect on rates of inflation ,growth , production  and others. The scale of  the self resources are defined on  the basis of the revenue capacity of the society and the economic activity movement.


The State self  resources are represented in:
1- Surpluses of the state administrative agency:
They  are about 45% of the state available resources. They are surpluses realized by the government administrative units and the affiliated departments as taxes , customs , and tributes in form of sovereign resources the state imposes, including:


a) Taxes: They form about 40%  of the state sovereign revenues  set on the basis of the society tax capacity with caring about tax equity.
They are the general taxes on incomes, profits , natural and legal persons of  partnerships and funds, directly imposed on them,  in addition to the stamp tax . The proceeds depend on the society tax capacity, the tax law effective on the tax  basis , expanding  the tax community , the work system in the tax department and the efficiency of collecting.


b) Customs:
They are about 20% of the state sovereign revenues. The rise in the proceeds depends on the enforced customs law and its effect on encouraging imports and exports , the  exemption rules , the customs evasion  control and the customs collecting systems.


c) Sales Tax:
They represent about 30% of the state sovereign revenues. They are the indirect taxes imposed on commodities and services whose final burden lies on the consumer of commodity or services. The proceeds depend on the status of  the trade and market economy on a side, and on the efficiency of the tax system and the tax culture in society on the other.
