Central government revenue excluding grants, as a percent of GDP. Beyond taxes it includes non-tax receipts: dividends of state-owned companies, revenue from the sale of extraction rights, duties and fees. That is why the difference between this indicator and tax revenue says something about the structure of a state: in commodity countries it is large, because a substantial part of the budget comes not from taxes but from rent.
Important: Grants are excluded deliberately: in the poorest countries foreign aid can make up a substantial part of the budget, and with it included the indicator would no longer measure the ability of a state to raise revenue.
