Intergovernmental revenues are revenues from other governments in the form of grants, entitlements or shared revenues. An operating grant is a contribution or gift of cash or other assets from another government to be used for a specific purpose, activity, or facility. A capital grant is restricted by the grantor for the acquisition and/or construction of fixed (capital) assets. An entitlement is the amount of payment to which a government is entitled pursuant to an allocation formula contained in applicable statutes. Shared revenue is revenue levied by one government but shared on a predetermined basis, often in proportion to the amount collected at the local level, with another government.
