Revenue Statistics in Africa 2019
1990-2017
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 26 countries in Africa: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Republic
of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea,
Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, 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, for OECD member countries. 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.
