Where an economy has no VAT system or no CIT system the relevant components of the post-filing index are ignored and the remaining components are averaged to create the post-filing index score. If an economy has neither VAT nor CIT, there is no score for the post filing index and the ranking is determined based on the other three sub-indicators only.

Due to rounding, some totals may not correspond with the sum of the separate figures.
