Total government revenue is fiscal indicator and consists of taxes, social contributions, grants and other revenue. Gross domestic product (GDP) is most important and most often used aggregate of the system of National Accounts and represents the indicator of total economic activities at country level. Indicator 17.1.1 represents percentage of total government revenue in GDP. 

Revenue is a fiscal indicator for assessing the sustainability of fiscal activities. The government has four types of revenue. The main types of revenue are taxes, social contributions, grants, transfers, and other revenue. Among these, compulsory levies and transfers are the primary sources of revenue for most government units. Specifically, taxes are compulsory, unrequited amounts claimed by government units from institutional units.

Social contributions are actual or imputed revenues claimed by social insurance to ensure the provision of social insurance benefits.

Other revenues include all claims from income excluding taxes, social contributions, and grants, and encompasses: property income; sales of goods and services; fines, penalties, and forfeits; transfers not elsewhere classified; and premiums, fees, and claims related to non-life insurance and standardized guarantee schemes.

The calculation of the share of government sector revenue in gross domestic product is based on government finance statistics reporting.
