About the indicator

Central government tax revenue as a percent of GDP, excluding compulsory social contributions and revenue from fines and penalties. A level of 15% of GDP is considered the minimum threshold at which a state is able to provide basic services and infrastructure.

Important: Only the central budget is counted — in federal states the overall tax burden is substantially higher.
