Answer:

Budget deficit / Fiscal deficit

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of the year, every government prepares a budget e.g. all sources of revenue (direct taxes, indirect taxes, aids etc) and projected expenses are also mentioned (development of society, defense etc.).

When a government spends more than its revenue from taxes so it means that government is running a budget deficit or a fiscal deficit which are covered through fiscal measures by government e.g. increasing taxes or reducing public spending.
