Table 8-2 shows CoCC revenues and expenditures over the past three years. As a result of the establishment of the new CC in July 2011 (two PSs merged), the size of the budget increased in 2011–12. Revenues/expenditures in 2012–13 are more than double that of the previous Comilla PS in 2011–12.
Table 8‑28: CoCC Revenues and Expenditures for the Past Three Years
Ratio of CC’s own source to Total Revenue (budget) of CC
In 2012–13, revenue from taxes and fees earned in CoCC (own source) amounts to 18% of the total budget of CoCC. This is due to a sizeable increase in the development budget, especially donor financed projects in 2012–13. Although the size of its own sources tends to increase yearly, the ratio of own sources to total revenues has fallen significant compared to the two previous years (2010–12), which accounted for 40%–50% of the total revenue of CoCC.
Ratio of holding tax to CC’s own source (revenue account)
In 2012–13, the ratio of holding tax to CoCC’s own sources is only 9%. The extent to which CoCC can raise revenues from holding tax has remained at a low level, around 9%–17%.
Ratio of special allotment for specific projects (foreign aid, the central government) to Total Revenue (budget) of CC
Foreign aid finances represent the largest share of the development budget over the past three years or nearly 65% in 2012–13. There is a trend of increasing dependence on project-specific funding over the last three years.
Ratio of development expenditure to Total Expenditure of CC
The ratio of development expenditure to total expenditure of CoCC tended to increase over the past three years, accounting for 89% in 2012–13.
