Some countries fail to ensure that their citizens and businesses make an appropriate contribution to the financing of public tasks. But not all countries with a low tax ratio automatically fall into this category. This paper presents an approach to assess the performance of developing countries’ tax systems based on aggregated data and country-specific information. Instead of defining general across-the-board criteria, the approach accounts for different development levels and other influencing factors, such as non-tax revenue and governance.
