Note on exchange rates: Cross-country comparisons of thresholds or tax amounts expressed in national currency require their conversion into one single currency. By convention, the currency used in this publication is the United States Dollar (USD). Two exchange rates can generally be used for converting national currencies into USD: (1) market exchange rates, which are currency exchange rates observed on the markets. The rate used in this publication is the average rate for 2019 as published in the OECD Monetary and Financial Statistics. However, the rate used for Table 3.5 is the average market exchange rate for 2018 as prices and taxes refer to the year 2018. (2) The purchasing power parity rates (PPP) for GDP, which equalise the purchasing power of different countries by eliminating differences in price levels between them; they show the specified number of monetary units needed in each country to buy the same representative basket of consumer goods and services that costs USD 1 in the United States. PPP exchange rates (for 2019) are used for Tables 2.5, 2.8 and 2.9 as they provide for a better comparison of the value of VAT relief thresholds. Market exchange rates are used for the other tables as they allow easier comparison of prices and the level of taxes in countries. | |||
