Revenue Statistics in Latin America and the Caribbean
Revenue Statistics in Latin America and the Caribbean 2020 is a joint publication by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, the OECD Development Centre, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UN-ECLAC), the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and with the support of the European Union Regional Facility for Development in Transition for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It presents detailed, internationally comparable data on tax revenues for 26 Latin American and Caribbean economies, three of which are OECD members. Colombia was not an OECD Member at the time of preparation of this publication. Accordingly, Colombia does not appear in the list of OECD Members and is not included in the zone aggregates. Revenue Statistics in Latin America and the Caribbean’s approach is based on the well-established methodology of the OECD Revenue Statistics database, which is an essential reference source for OECD member countries. Comparisons are also made with the average tax indicators for OECD economies. Comparable tables show total tax revenue data and by tax as a percentage of GDP, and, for the different types of taxes, as a share of total taxation. Detailed country tables show information in national currency values.
