OECD Tax Statistics are updated each year and published in two volumes.

Volume I: Revenue StatisticsThis volume provides a conceptual framework to define which government receipts should be regarded as taxes and to classify different types of taxes. It presents a unique set of detailed and internationally comparable tax data in a common format for all OECD countries from 1965 onwards.

Volume II: Taxing WagesThis volume provides unique information on direct taxes levied from employees and their employers in all 30 OECD countries as well as family benefits paid as cash transfers. Amounts of taxes and benefits are detailed, programme by programme, for eight household types which differ by income level and household composition. Results include the tax burden for one- and two-earner families. The data on tax burdens and family benefits reported here are widely used in academic research and in the preparation and evaluation of social and economic policy making.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN PRINT AND ON LINEOECD Tax Statistics are in user-friendly software, Beyond 20/20™ for Windows™, that allows users to extract and export data, prepare customised graphs and tables, and perform their own analysis. The database is also available at www.SourceOECD.org.
