 0     tax_trade_export grapher/unu_wider/2023-11-01/government_revenue_dataset/government_revenue_dataset#tax_trade_export   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). Indirect taxes comprise the sum of taxes on goods and services, international trade and transactions, and other taxes. The position displayed in Indirect may exceed the sum of mentioned sub-components due to unallocated revenue not classified in any of these categories. Note that the component of indirect taxes from natural resources is only non-zero in a small number of cases. Taxes on international trade include taxes on imports and exports.

 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
