About this series

Central government tax revenue, % of GDP. World Bank (IMF GFS).

Indicator definition

Compulsory transfers to the central government for public purposes, excluding social security contributions. A broader measure is Tax take (OECD).

How to read the data

Values are lower than in Tax take (OECD) because the series leaves out contributions and local government; compare countries within one series.
