Revenue Statistics in Asia and the Pacific is jointly produced by the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration
(CTP) and the OECD Development Centre (DEV) with the co-operation of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB), the Pacific Island Tax Administrators Association (PITAA), and the Pacific
Community (SPC) and financial support from the governments of Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg,
Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This edition includes a special
feature on the emerging challenges for the Asia-Pacific region in the COVID-19 era
and ways to address them. It compiles comparable tax revenue statistics for Australia,
Bhutan, People’s Republic of China, Cook Islands, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan,
Korea, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Nauru,
New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Thailand,
Tokelau, Vanuatu and Viet Nam ; and comparable non tax revenue statistics for Bhutan,
the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, the Maldives,
Mongolia, Nauru, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Singapore, Thailand, Tokelau,
Vanuatu and Viet Nam. The model is the OECD Revenue Statistics database which is a
fundamental reference, backed by a well established methodology, for OECD member countries.
Extending the OECD methodology to Asian and Pacific economies enables comparisons
about tax levels and tax structures on a consistent basis, both among Asian and Pacific
economies and with OECD, Latin American and Caribbean and African averages.
