How it is calculated

Central government tax collections ÷ GDP × 100.

Simple example

▼ When it is low or falling

Weaker collection or a large informal economy.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

The tax-to-GDP ratio indicates fiscal capacity and the efficiency of tax collection.

How to read it

It excludes state/local taxes in federal countries, so it can understate total taxation.
