The adjustments ended up in a net reduction of R2.4 billion whereby expenditure estimates levels decreased from R818.1 billion to R815.7 billion. The total allocations to national departments decreased by R7.0 billion, allocation to provinces increased by R4.1 billion and allocations to local government increased by R0.3 billion. In effect the general decrease will not impact on provincial and local spheres of government like on the national sphere of government where allocations were reduced. It is clear the reduced allocations are due to shortfall in the unexpected revenue collected. Budget spending projections also make provision for about R3.6 billion in under spending at a national level (including declared savings). Offsetting this R9.6 billion available on the main budget against the R7.2 billion in the adjustments budget, the total estimated level of spending decreases to R2.5 billion. In terms of section 6(1) of the DoRA if actual revenue raised nationally in respect of the financial year falls short of the anticipated revenue set out in Schedule 1, the national government bears the shortfall and in terms of section 6(2) of the DoRA if actual revenue raised nationally in respect of the financial year exceeds the anticipated revenue set out in Schedule 1, the excess accrues to the national government, subject to subsection (3).
