Tax Revenue Buoyancy in OECD Countries
Data on government sector receipts, and on taxes in particular, are basic inputs to most structural economic descriptions and economic analyses, and they are increasingly used in economic comparisons. This annual publication gives a conceptual framework to define which government receipts should be regarded as taxes. It presents a unique set of detailed and internationally comparable tax data in a common format for all OECD countries from 1965 onwards. This year’s edition includes a special feature on tax revenue buoyancy in OECD countries.

Executive summary
In 2022, a majority of OECD countries observed a decline in their tax-to-GDP ratio and the average OECD tax-to-GDP ratio declined by 0.15 percentage points (p.p.) to 34.0%. While revenues from corporate income tax (CIT) rose as a share of GDP in over three-quarters of OECD countries in 2022 on the back of higher profits (especially in the energy and agriculture sectors), revenues from excises declined in 34 out of the 36 OECD countries for which preliminary data for 2022 is available as sharp increases in global energy prices led to lower demand and prompted many countries to reduce energy taxes.
