Tax policy analysis
Revenue Statistics in Africa 2021
The publication
Revenue Statistics in Africa
is jointly undertaken by the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration and the
OECD Development Centre, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Tax Administration
Forum (ATAF) with the financial support of the European Union. It compiles comparable
tax revenue and non‑tax revenue statistics for 30 countries in Africa: Botswana, Burkina
Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar,
Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal,
Seychelles, South Africa, Togo, Tunisia and Uganda. The model is the OECD Revenue
Statistics database which is a fundamental reference, backed by a well‑established
methodology. Extending the OECD methodology to African countries enables comparisons
about tax levels and tax structures on a consistent basis, both among African economies
and with OECD, Latin American, Caribbean, Asian and Pacific economies.
