In plain words
13% of GDP
What it is. This measure adds up the taxes the central government collects, such as levies on incomes, company profits, goods and trade, and divides the total by the size of the economy. Expressing it against GDP lets readers compare years while prices and output grow. It leaves out grants, other non-tax income and taxes raised by local authorities.
Higher is better. A higher share is better because the state then funds roads, schools and debt payments from its own receipts and relies less on borrowing. The latest figure is 13% of GDP in 2023, up from 11.8% of GDP a year earlier, a rise of 1.2 percentage points. Since 2014 the lowest reading was 10.1% of GDP in 2014. The 2023 figure is also the highest in that span, so the ratio sits at the top of its range.
Why it matters. At 13% of GDP the government has more of its own money for public services and for interest on its debt than it had in 2022. Firms and households are likely to feel this through tighter tax collection and wider coverage of the tax base. Whether the next annual reading stays at or above 13% of GDP will show if the 2023 jump is lasting.
