Overview of budget process

An administration’s budget reflects the policy priorities of the administration and includes its recommendations to Congress for spending and taxation for the fiscal year that begins October 1, 2023. Congress decides whether to implement those recommendations, and the congressional budgets may diverge substantially from the administration’s recommendations.

The budget process begins with the submission of the president’s budget proposal (submitted today by the Biden Administration). The next step is for the House and Senate each to consider a budget resolution—an internal directive providing guidance to congressional committees as they write legislation implementing the coming year’s budget. This resolution typically is initiated in the budget committee of each chamber. 

Treasury “Green Book” expected shortly

Now that the FY 2024 budget proposals have been released, the U.S. Treasury Department is soon expected to release the “Green Book”—its explanation of the tax proposals in the administration’s FY 2024 budget.

KPMG TaxNewsFlash will provide text and then a report of initial impressions of the “Green Book” once released.
