Taxation refers to general government revenue. This may also include government revenue from trading commodities or government debt. Taxation is characterized as revenue that does not establish entitlements to healthcare, although it might be earmarked for health spending. It may include revenue at federal, regional or local level of government. The indicator takes the value 1 = "Yes" if the respective legislation and system description define taxes or the general government budget as a substantial financing source of healthcare services.
