FINAL REPORT [228]
GLOSSARY GLOSSARY Term budget balancing assistance Commonwealth Grants Commission consumer price index Deadweight cost disabilities: cost disabilities revenue disabilities donor States economic growth economic rent economies of scale Definition Commonwealth guarantee under the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Reform of Commonwealth-State Financial Relations (1999) that the budgetary position of each individual State and Territory will be no worse off following the tax reforms introduced under A New Tax System. To meet this guarantee, the Commonwealth makes transitional assistance payments to each State and Territory until their shares of the GST revenue pool are enough to compensate for any losses from GST-related changes. Statutory body that advises the Commonwealth Government on per capita relativities for distributing among the States and Territories the pool of general revenue assistance made available by the Commonwealth. An inflationary indicator that measures the change in the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services typically purchased by metropolitan wage earning households. The goods and services are divided into the following groups: food; clothing; housing; household equipment and operation; transportation; tobacco and alcohol; health and personal care; recreation and education. Indexes for each of these groups and for `All Groups' are published monthly for each of the State capitals, Canberra and Darwin and for the weighted average of the eight capital cities. The cost to the economy over and above the amount of actual revenue collected or the excess burden. Cost disabilities – when states face higher costs in providing services for reasons outside their control. Revenue disabilities – when States have a lower capacity to raise their own revenues for reasons outside their control. States and Territories that receive less than their per capita share of GST revenues. The persistent expansion of a country’s production possibilities. The amount a factor is earning over and above what it could be earning in its next best alternative use. When larger firms are able to lower their unit costs. This may happen for a variety of reasons, for example, a larger firm may be able to buy in bulk, it may be able to organise production more efficiently, it may be able to raise capital cheaper and more efficiently.
