OECD’s annual statistical publication that presents a unique set of detailed and internationally comparable tax revenue data in a common format for all OECD countries from 1965 onwards. It also provides a conceptual framework defining which government receipts should be regarded as taxes and classifies different types of taxes. Comparable tables show revenue data by type of tax in US dollars, as a percentage of GDP, and, for the different types of taxes, as a share of total taxation. Detailed country tables show information in national currency values. Each edition represents a “snapshot” of the data at the time of publication; any further country amendments to the data will be shown in the relevant publication dataset within the “Other Versions: Database” below. Please also refer to the metadata for additional information.
