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. Total other taxes comprises tax revenues that are not otherwise classified, or identified. Often this incorporates, amongst other items, certain stamp duties.

 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
