minus-squareit_depends_man@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down1·14 days agoWTF is this headline math. The annual target is 100%. 5 months out of 12 is 41%. 28% (of the annual) / 41% (What they should expect to collect in 5 months) is 0.68, so roughly 2/3. In English: they made 1/3 less money than they expected. FFS. People shouldn’t be expected to do this much math.
minus-squarePronell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·14 days agoThis is oil taxes, the target is overall budget. The surge in oil taxes is bringing them to their target earlier. But yes, the headline is shit. No argument there.
WTF is this headline math.
The annual target is 100%.
5 months out of 12 is 41%.
28% (of the annual) / 41% (What they should expect to collect in 5 months) is 0.68, so roughly 2/3.
In English: they made 1/3 less money than they expected.
