How this figure is calculated
Taxes on goods and services (current LCU) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Taxes on goods and services (current LCU) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Taxes on goods and services Government Finance Statistics Yearbook and data files, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
