 0     rev_ex_gr_ex_sc grapher/unu_wider/2023-11-01/government_revenue_dataset/government_revenue_dataset#rev_ex_gr_ex_sc   2 major           Includes taxes and non-tax revenue. Revenue refers to total government revenue, providing a set of variables that differentiates between sources and sub-components considered. Revenue contains four sub-components, namely: (i) Taxes; (ii) Non-Tax Revenue; (iii) Social Contributions; (iv) Grants. The variable Taxes captures tax collected regardless of sources (i.e., unless otherwise defined, this includes resource-based taxes). These follow the definition of taxes found in both the IMF’ Government Finance Statistics Manual (GFSM) and OECD Revenue Statistics Interpretive Guide as ‘compulsory, unrequited …’ payments to the government (IMF 2014; OECD 2020). Non-tax revenue includes all other revenue that is collected by governments that does not classify as either a tax, social contribution, or grant. According to IMF (2014:85), non-tax revenue captures ‘… property income, sales of goods and services, fines, penalties, and forfeits, transfers not elsewhere classified and premiums, fees, and claims related to nonlife insurance and standardized guarantee schemes.’ Social contributions include both compulsory and voluntary social insurance contributions from employers, employees, and the self-employed. Grants include transfers from other government units (foreign) and international organisations. Regarding natural resources, please note that they refer to natural resources that include a significant component of economic rent, primarily from oil and mining activities.

 The source provides their data with caution notes, classifying them as follows: 1. Accuracy, quality or comparability of data questionable. 2. Un-excluded resource revenues/taxes are significant but cannot be isolated from total revenue/taxes. 3. Un-excluded resource revenue/taxes are marginal but non-negligible and cannot be isolated from total revenue/taxes. 4. Inconsistencies with social contributions. We have excluded from our dataset the observations flagged with caution note 1.       float
