Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Taxes should be included in consumption aggregates only if they are closely related to services provided such as households that are paying more tax are receiving more services. In that latter case (if there is enough detail in the survey about taxes) this category should be disaggregated according to the nature of taxes paid.
