How this figure is calculated
Taxes on goods and services (current LCU) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Taxes on goods and services (current LCU) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Taxes on goods and services Government Finance Statistics Yearbook and data files, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
