L'adjectif «fiscal» en français, tout en étant d'usage courant en fiscalité, n'est pas sorti de ce domaine. On ne saurait donc légitimement le considérer comme un équivalent de «financier», «budgétaire», ou même «douanier», même si tous ces sens sont présents dans l'adjectif anglais «fiscal». Similitude de forme n'implique pas similitude de sens. 10, record 1, French, - gouffre%20budg%C3%A9taire
