This annual publication compiles comparable tax revenue and non-tax revenue statistics for 33 countries in Africa: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Togo, Tunisia and Uganda. The report extends the well-established methodology on the classification of public revenues set out in the OECD Interpretative Guide to African countries, thereby enabling comparison of tax levels and tax structures not only across the continent but also with the OECD, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific. Data on African countries presented in this publication are also included in the OECD’s Global Revenue Statistics database, which is a fundamental reference for analysis of domestic resource mobilisation. This edition includes a special feature on the VAT Digital Toolkit for Africa. The publication is jointly undertaken by the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, the OECD Development Centre, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), with the financial support of the European Union.

Executive summary

Revenue Statistics in Africa 2023 presents internationally comparable indicators on tax and non‑tax revenues for 33 African countries up to and including 2021, the second year of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The Revenue Statistics in Africa initiative is a unique tool to understand Africa’s diverse and complex economic environment, for tracking progress in domestic resource mobilisation, and for informing the design and analysis of tax policy across the African continent. As such, it contributes to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Revenue Statistics in Africa also contributes to the implementation of the second phase of the Pan‑African Statistics Programme, a joint initiative between the African Union and the European Union that aims to improve measurement of progress in the process of African Integration by promoting the use of statistical data of quality in the decision‑making process and policy monitoring. This edition of Revenue Statistics in Africa includes a special feature on the VAT Digital Toolkit for Africa.
