a)The amount of $11.3 billion in chart 1 was a predicted amount for 2020 that was made before COVID-19.However, due to COVID-19, the revenue from GST in 2020 was lower than expected. The increase  of 14.6% in chart 2 is based on the actual revenue from GST in 2020 which was lower than the expected $11.3 billion.

# data[].attributes.body
a) The amount of money for the goods and services tax in 2020 ($11.3 billion) was estimated before the pandemic. But due to the pandemic the estimated amount was lower than expected. Hence, the amount remained at $11.3 billion
b) 9.90/11.3=99/113

a) Chart 1 shows the ESTIMATED figures before COVID-19, and the actual expenditure for 2020 was not 11.3b but 9.90b. Hence, the percentage increase in 2021 is 14.6% even though the estimates are the same in both years.

A) Chart 1 shows what the government had originally predicted based on what happened in previous years, without the pandemic. However, after the pandemic hit, less money was received through the despised GST(at least, by adults, it doesn't affect me yet ;))
And so, in the 2021 estimation,  it is the increase from what we actually got in 2020 from GST
