This table lists countries by total 2005 tax revenues (federal, state, and local) as a percentage of GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The data for EU (European Union) countries and Norway is from EUROSTAT (Statistical Office of the European Communities).[1] The data for Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States is from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).[2].
(Caveat: Data from Eurostat and OECD is not directly comparable. The Eurostat figures displayed below show a ratio that is 1 to 2 percentage points higher; in the case of Germany by 4 percentage points.)
The table is sortable in various ways by clicking the arrows in the header cells.
