Following is a breakdown of federal revenues for the year ended 31 March 1981, obtained from Statistics Canada (I've rounded amounts to the nearest $10**9). TAX REVENUES Personal $21 Corporation 8 Consumption (e.g. fuel tax) 11 Health & Social Insurance (e.g. CPP) 6 Misc. 3 --- TOTAL TAX REVENUES $49 OTHER REVENUE 9 --- Gross General Revenue $58
