The Collecting Taxes Database (CTD) provides comparative information on a select range of tax performance and tax administration variables for 200 countries. It complements a number of other publicly available revenue datasets that include cross-country revenue collection statistics (e.g. tax-to-gdp) as well as structural features of a tax system (e.g. tax rates). The database was created to provide policymakers and researchers with the means to conduct cross-country research on the role of taxation in development. The CTD is part of a wider agenda of the international community to help countries strengthen their tax systems and mobilize domestic revenue.
