Tax coverage ratio
The tax coverage ratio is the gross tax revenue in relation to the adjusted government expenditure of a country.
It denotes the proportion of adjusted total expenditure that is covered by tax revenue. The remaining portion is financed by other current income from the operating budget and investment income, as well as by extraordinary financial income ( withdrawals from reserves , mobilization of assets). In the new federal states it was between 49.9 and 53.6% in 2009. In the old federal states it averaged 70.2%.
