We are not quite sure. It is too early to tell. In bringing in a budget, we do the Estimate for the full year and thereafter compile monthly profiles. We are talking large numbers here. Some months are VAT months while other months are not. This means the figures are uneven across the months. A slight error on profiling might explain some of it.
