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). Direct taxes include taxes on income, profits and capital gains, taxes on payroll and workforce as well as taxes on property. Please note that the total values of direct taxes may sometimes exceed the sum of the aforementioned sub-components, owing to revenue that is unclassified among these subcomponents. When specified as direct taxes excluding resource revenue, direct taxes comprise non-resource taxes on the mentioned sub-components (e.g., excluding corporate taxes accruing from entities engaged in the extraction of natural resource). Taxes on income, profits, and capital gains (TIPCG) are always reported exclusive of social contributions. The total value of TIPCG may sometimes exceed the sum of the positions displayed in individuals and corporations and other enterprises, due to revenues that are unallocated between the two.

 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
