Revision of 1975-2004 time series of Statistics on Taxes and Tax-like Payments
Statistics Finland has revised the time series of its Statistics on Taxes and Tax-like Payments for the 1975-2004 period. The revision relates to the revision of the Finnish National Accounts time series taking effect at the same time. Changes to the statistics on taxes principally derive from differences in the levels of GDP when compared to the previous National Accounts time series. The revisions of the time series on GDP also affect the tax ratio and net tax ratio calculated relative to GDP.
In the revised time series development of the tax ratio does not deviate significantly from that in its predecessor. However, the ratio is generally slightly lower in the new time series, for example, in respect of the 2000s, the difference varies from 0.5 to 1.1 percentage points. The revised time series puts the tax ratio for 2004 at 43.6 per cent while the old series put it at 44.3 per cent.
These data are based on the revised National Accounts time series published on 31 March 2006. The data concerning 2005 that were published from the Statistics on Taxes and Tax-like Payments on 1 March 2006 are not fully comparable with the revised time series data published here. Data concerning 2005 produced in accordance with the time series revision from the Statistics on Taxes and Tax-like Payments will be published on 13 July 2006.
