To answer “a,” the Enacted Budget must present revenue estimates classified by category.

Using EBP documents to respond to EB questions
Researchers should not use EBP documents to respond to EB questions (59-63), UNLESS
 * there is a very specific citation in the Appropriations Act itself to a specific document that was tabled as part of the EBP and not modified by the legislature. This mostly applies to Westminster system countries.
 * The EBP documents are re-uploaded with a new cover page and/or title that signals that it is now approved/enacted rather than proposed/draft.

Categorizations other than tax/non-tax
We do accept categorization other than tax/non-tax. For example, in oil rich countries we would accept an oil/non-oil categorization provided:
 * It is useful to check EBP and/or EB to see if they use the same categorization, so that budgeted/approved can be compared with actuals.
