This enables an assessment of economic and other factors influencing the tax bases from which taxes are sourced e.g. for payroll tax, an assessment of the outlook for employment. Where necessary, adjustment factors are used to account for other trends or events not captured by the model, such as impact of economic shocks or policy stimulus.
