Treatment of capital transfers.

The treatment of the capital transfers that some countries make to account for taxes that have been assessed but not collected. The capital transfer has been subtracted from the total tax revenue and this reduction has been allocated between tax headings in proportion to their tax revenues.

This applies to the following countries

  • Denmark from 1971
  • France from 1992,
  • Lithuania for 1999
  • Spain from 1995,
  • Switzerland from 1990
