  1. Tax collections from Income Tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST) are classified under Revenue Receipts.Cevap
  2. Market borrowings and recovery of loans are categorized under Capital Receipts.Cevap
  3. C
    Interest payments made by the government on accumulated national debt are categorized under Capital Expenditure.
  4. D
    Disinvestment proceeds from selling shares in public sector enterprises are classified under Revenue Receipts.

Cevap

Tax collections from direct and indirect taxes belong to Revenue Receipts, and market borrowings along with loan recoveries belong to Capital Receipts.
Tax collections from direct and indirect taxes do not incur liabilities, placing them squarely in Revenue Receipts. Market borrowings create financial liabilities and loan recoveries liquidate assets, making both Capital Receipts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the definition of Revenue Receipts
Tax revenues (Income Tax, GST) are non-redeemable receipts that do not create liabilities or decrease assets, making them Revenue Receipts.
Government receipts are divided into Revenue and Capital based on liability/asset impact.
2
Analyze Capital Receipts classification
Borrowings increase liability (debt receipts) and loan recoveries reduce financial assets (non-debt capital receipts), making both Capital Receipts.
Any receipt causing asset reduction or liability creation is a Capital Receipt.
3
Evaluate expenditure and disinvestment accounting rules
Interest payments are consumable operational costs (Revenue Expenditure), while disinvestment reduces asset holdings (Capital Receipts).
Misclassifying interest payments or disinvestment leads to incorrect deficit calculations.
