Lines break at accounting-basis changes and missing periods. Source: The Treasury (New Zealand).
The cash-basis measures Treasury used before accrual accounting began in 1994: financial net expenditure, cash receipts and the (adjusted) financial balance. (Tax receipts continue after 1993 and are published separately.)
These affect how the figures can be compared.
The latest ten periods for up to the first six series. Downloads contain every published observation.

The attached CSV is Historical cash fiscal measures (to 1993) (historical-cash-measures), from The Treasury (New Zealand), Fiscal Time Series – Historical Fiscal Indicators. Describe how each measure has changed, naming its unit and period. Treat changes in basis and missing periods as breaks. Distinguish observation from explanation. Limitations: Cash measures are not comparable with the accrual series from 1994 (different basis, coverage and GST treatment). Between 1987 and 1993 these include GST paid on government purchases. Years ending March to 1989, June from 1990.. Do not infer causation from changes during government terms.
