Deficit (-) / surplus (+) -6,567,992 -6,567,992 -54,090 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the foundation of the National Fund of Kazakhstan, extra revenues from income tax collected from the companies working in production of raw materials (Tengizchevroil JV LLP, Kazakhoil-Emba OJSC, plan - KZT11.8 bn) are transferred to the National Fund (when the plan is not meet, the backwards mechanism is launched, the Fund compensates for the losses of the budget). Moreover, from January 1, 2001 transfers at 10% of expected income tax revenues from legal entities should be transferred to the Fund from the regional budget. Tax revenues account for the biggest proportion of the budget revenues, which increase each year both in monetary terms and in percentage. Thus, if in 1998 tax revenues amounted to KZT4.1 bn, or 84.4% of all revenues, in 1999 - KZT16.4 bn, or 97.1%, in 2000 - KZT44.5 bn, or 98.5%, in I half of 2001 - KZT27.6 bn, or 98.8% of the revenues of Atyrau region's budget. In 2000 forecasted figures on major sources of budget revenues were met with excess, which was caused by an increase in world oil prices, industrial and agricultural output volumes, and general level of prices on industrial products, improvement of financial discipline and reduction in mutual debt of the enterprises, increase in wages in 2000 (58.2% to 1999), improvement of taxation (as a result, missed amounts decreased from almost KZT1.3 bn in 1999 to KZT0.8 bn in 2000 relative to the revenues of the regional budget). Main source of tax revenues is income tax from legal entities (in 1998 - 13.0%, in 1999 - 23.2%, in 2000 - 57.5%) and from private persons in 1998 - 12.1%, in 1999 - 27.5%, in 2000 - 17.5%). Budget revenues mostly depend on the prices of crude oil and its production volumes. The major taxpayer is Tengizchevroil JV LLP, whose proportion reached 55.2% of all revenues in 2000 (in 1999 - 33.6%, in 1998 - 38.3%). The proportion of Kazakhoil-Emba OJSC in 2000 - 11.9% (in 1999 - 8.2%, in 1998 - 7.8%). As a whole, budget revenues of these two companies amounted to KZT30.2 bn, or 67.1% of total revenues of the region. EXPENSES Beginning from 1999, after official transfers (budget withdrawals) to national budget (in 1999 - 40.5% of all expenses, in 2000 - 37.2%, plan for 2001 - 60.0%) the biggest share of budget expenses belongs to education (in 1998 - 40.1%, in 1999 - 17.9%, in 2000 - 11.0%, plan for 2001 - 10.3%), health (in 1998 - 9.0%, in 1999 - 9.7%, in 2000 - 11.3%, plan for 2001 - 5.0%), social insurance and protection (in 1998 - 28.1%, in 1999 - 6.7%, in 2000 - 2.5%, plan for 2001 - 4.1%), housing (in 1998 - 3.6%, in 1999 - 7.9%, in 2000 - 15.3%, plan for 2001 - 13.9%), transportation and communication (in 1999 - 7.0%, in 2000 - 10.3%, plan for 2001 - 3.2%). Till 1999 Atyrau region was not obliged to make official transfers to the national budget. For 2001, based on the Law of Kazakhstan, dated April 25, 2001, "On making changes and amendments to the Law of Kazakhstan "On national budget for the year 2001" absolute amount of budgetary withdrawals for the region was set at KZT28,789,886 th., which is 69.5% of all revenues of Atyrau region's budget.
