Budget 2025: Budget vs. Vote on Account - What's the difference?
				
																	
								
				Governments use Budget and Vote on Account for financial planning.  A full budget is a comprehensive yearly financial plan. It details past income and expenses, and sets future goals.  A vote on account is a temporary measure. It covers essential expenses during transitions, like elections.  It ensures government operations continue without major financial changes.
