 0     tax_ex_sc grapher/unu_wider/2023-11-01/government_revenue_dataset/government_revenue_dataset#tax_ex_sc   2 major             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). The Taxes variables presents aggregate indicators that capture all tax revenue as defined above. Resource taxes typically present taxes levied on natural resource extraction, although differ across territories. Resource Taxes are not (systematically) defined or captured in the OECD Revenue Statistics, and not captured at all in the IMF’s GFS, thus do not have a separate code for either publication.

 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
