I know that it can be found in OECD publication "Consumption tax trends", but it's unavailable for download. Other source is PWC publication "Worldwide tax summaries corporative", but it's large several thousand pages and it would be needed so much time to extract data. IMF database doesn't have possibility to download files into .xls(or .xlst) format.
Except these publications, when I enter a search query "VAT, excise duties and customs duties rates for world countries" in Google Search, I get a lot of results, but I don't know which source, except these three mentioned, is reliable.
Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
For starters, by using the simple-minded phrase "a table," you seem not to grasp the breadth, depth, complexity, and scope of the question you're asking. There are more than 200 countries in the world. Even within a single country, "excise duties" and "customs duties tax rates" are likely to vary according to the good in question and, in some cases, by the quantity of that good. So, OF COURSE, any authoritative listing is going to be HUGE. What else would you expect?
You've asked a hugely complex question. Answering it is going to take a LOT of time and effort. There are no shortcuts. No one who takes the time to compile such a database is going to make it available for download for free. Would you?
Good grief, man.
I am looking for information, for example "range of excise rates is between 10 and 30%". I expect similar information for customs duties.
Fine. But you're seeking something that I doubt is available. More important, how you describe what you're seeking strikes me as so broad as to be useless information. From here, it appears that you're trying to sweep an elephant under a napkin.
Why do you think that it can't be found? In addition to this, this information is not useless for me.
The IMF Tax Policy VAT Rates Database has the data (for VAT) but it is not downloadable, as mentioned by Slaven Savic. The International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation is possibly the best source of data on taxes, but it is quite expensive to subscribe. Getting detailed and especially updated data for excises and custom tariffs for alla countries from a single source is a dream.
You might try a google search of the Big 4 accounting firms. If I recall correctly, they have something similar. Or in the alternative (if I am mistaken), they have in-depth country reports and you can be the firs to assemble these into one table!
