Fiscal balance is a taxation policy that keeps a country's employment and taxation levels in balance. |
|
Fiscal balance is simply the balance of a government's tax revenues, plus any proceeds from asset sales, minus government spending. |
|
To measure the fiscal imbalance, take the difference between the present value of all future debt and the present value of all income streams. Source(s): investopedia.com |

A horizontal fiscal imbalance occurs when different regions of a country have different abilities to provide services due to different abilities to raise funds. This can occur if regions are able to raise more funds through their tax bases than other regions and/or the cost of provision of services is higher in some regions than in others. |

•The Fiscal Balance represents the difference between General Government revenue over expenses. It includes capital expenditure, but excludes depreciation. |

Fiscal imbalance is the term used by governments to describe a monetary imbalance between the national government and smaller, subordinate governments, such as those of states or provinces. A vertical fiscal imbalance occurs when the revenues of different levels of government do not match their expenditure responsibilities. This will necessitate transfer payments from the overendowed party to the underendowed party (vertical fiscal equalization). A horizontal fiscal imbalance occurs when different regions of a country have different abilities to provide services due to different abilities to raise funds. This can occur if regions are able to raise more funds through their tax bases than other regions and/or the cost of provision of services is higher in some regions than in others. This is usually rectified by weighting transfer payments toward the needier regions (horizontal fiscal equalization). The discussion of horizontal fiscal imbalance and equalisation was of particular importance in the drafting of the new Iraqi constitution. It was a sticking point for the drafting process—with the oil rich regions seeking to minimise the reallocation of revenue while other regions sought to maximise equalisation payments. |

The balance of a government's tax revenues, plus any proceeds from asset sales, minus government spending. If the balance is positive the government has a fiscal surplus, if negative a fiscal deficit. |
|
To measure the fiscal imbalance, take the difference between the present value of all future debt and the present value of all income streams. At any given time, there will be a fiscal imbalance for a particular government; a sustained and positive balance will be detrimental to society and the economy. If there is a sustained positive fiscal imbalance, then tax revenues will likely increase in the future, causing both current and future household consumption to fall. |

A situation where all of the future debt obligations of a government are different from the future income streams. Both of the obligations and the income streams are measured at their respective present values, and will be discounted at the risk free rate plus a certain spread. A vertical fiscal imbalance describes a situation where revenues do not match expenditures for different levels of government. A horizontal imbalance describes a situation where revenues do not match expenditures for different regions of the country. |
