No.
I would look to the end of the year regarding what the revised and final expenditure figure would be for 2018 and then decide how much of the additional expenditure of that goes into the base for 2019 and how much of that is going to be covered by tax revenue, about which I can make a determination that is likely to continue into 2019. The delta between the two will influence the degree to which it influences budget 2019 choices, if at all.
