  2. Revenue Neutrality • The Treasury Department estimates the revenue implications of our plans. • The starting point for any revenue estimate is a “revenue baseline.” The baseline serves as the benchmark for measuring the effects of proposed tax law changes. • Treasury uses the Administration’s 10-year projection of Federal receipts as the baseline in the revenue estimates they prepare for the Panel. • The Administration baseline assumes that EGTRRA (2001) and JGTRRA (2003) sunsets are repealed and the temporary AMT provisions expire in 2005.

  3. Revenue Estimates • Revenue estimates are reported as point estimates and are calculated in nominal dollars. • Revenue estimates are provided over a 10-year period, often referred to as the "budget window." • Conventional revenue estimating techniques • Conventional revenue estimates hold macroeconomic aggregates (e.g., gross domestic product and total employee compensation) fixed. • Conventional revenue estimates are not static, but micro-dynamic. • Taxpayers' likely behavioral responses to proposed changes in tax law are taken into account • Takes into account a variety of responses, including changes in the timing of transactions and income recognition, changes in entity form, shifts between business sectors, shifts in portfolio holdings, shifts between taxable and non-taxable consumption, and tax planning and avoidance strategies.
