How to read the chart
The OECD strip decomposes general-government tax revenue only. It is displayed beside the annual account but is not added to it.
No separate reconciled federal expenditure layer is currently available for this report.

Assembly rule: The integrated chart uses the government annual account as its core. OECD tax composition and federal expenditure appear as visually embedded but separately labelled lenses; different periods and scopes are never added together.
Interpretation: Largest reported category means the largest item in the named source classification. It does not imply that categories from different classifications, periods, or institutional scopes are directly interchangeable.
Methodology: Annual-account records are final or provisional observations for one annual period ending in 2024. Published categories reconcile to their totals, and revenue minus expenditure reconciles to the displayed balance. National dataset generated 9/19/2026.
