Revenue Statistics in Asian and Pacific Economies 2020
Revenue Statistics in Asian and Pacific Economies is jointly produced by the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration
(CTP) and the OECD Development Centre (DEV) with the co-operation of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB), the Pacific Island Tax Administrators Association (PITAA), and the Pacific
Community (SPC) and the financial support from the governments of Ireland, Japan,
Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. This edition includes a special
feature on the tax policy and administration responses to COVID-19 in Asian and Pacific
Economies.
It compiles comparable tax revenue statistics for Australia, Bhutan, People’s Republic
of China, Cook Islands, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia,
Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands,
Thailand, Tokelau and Vanuatu ; and comparable non-tax revenue statistics for Bhutan,
the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Nauru, Philippines, Papua New Guinea,
Samoa, Thailand, Tokelau and Vanuatu. The model is the OECD Revenue Statistics database
which is a fundamental reference, backed by a well-established methodology, for OECD
member countries. Extending the OECD methodology to Asian and Pacific economies enables
comparisons about tax levels and tax structures on a consistent basis, both among
Asian and Pacific economies and with OECD, Latin American and Caribbean and African
averages.
