For a background of demands for resources, their specific direction separate cost proposals of expenses and incomes were made. The first attempt of formation of the uniform general of the cost proposal of incomes and incomes  which receives the name the budget (from English budget - a bag of the treasurer, a bag with money), has been carried out in the end of XVII century in England.
