Revenue Statistics in Asian and Pacific Economies

Revenue Statistics in Asian and Pacific economies is an annual publication presenting comparable tax revenue for economies in Asia and the Pacific and non-tax revenue for selected Pacific economies in a common format from 1990 onwards. The model is the OECD Revenue Statistics database which is a fundamental reference for OECD member countries. Extending the OECD methodology to Asian and Pacific economies enables comparisons of tax levels and tax structures, both across Asian and Pacific economies and with OECD, Latin American, Caribbean and African economies. Each edition represents a “snapshot” of the data at the time of publication; any further country amendments to the data will be shown in the relevant online publication dataset and metadata. The report is jointly undertaken by the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration and the OECD Development Centre, with the co-operation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Pacific Island Tax Administrators Association (PITAA) and the Pacific Community (SPC) with the financial support from the governments of Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
