The sequence of meetings of the Tax Revenue Budget Working Group is based on fiscal and fiscal planning schedules, particularly those of the federal government. There are two meetings per year. The results of the tax forecasts form part of the government`s financial forecasts, which it submits to the Stability Council. The working group on tax revenue forecasting has a subcommittee on regionalisation, composed of representatives of the Federal Ministry of Finance and representatives of the Länder of the working group.
