This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Turkey statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Turkey statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Turkey-specific metadata information.

| Indicator name | Redistributive impact of fiscal policy on the Gini index |
| Global / Proxy indicator | Proxy indicator |
| Description of indicator |
a) Gini coefficient of disposable income, post taxes and transfers: Disposable income is used in the calculation of the Gini coefficient of disposable income, post taxes and transfers. Disposable income deducts from gross income the value of taxes on income and wealth paid and of contributions paid by households to public social security schemes b) Gini coefficient of market income, before taxes and transfers: Market income is used in the calculation of the Gini coefficient of market income, before taxes and transfers. Market income adds to primary income the value of employment-related social insurance transfers received by households. |

| Other information | The Redistributive impact of fiscal policy on the Gini index indicator is defined as the Gini coefficient of prefiscal per capita (or equivalized) income less the Gini coefficient of postfiscal per capita (or equivalized) income. Prefiscal income is defined as the cumulative income accruing to an individual (or a household) from market and private sources only. Postfiscal income is prefiscal income minus direct and indirect taxes plus transfers and indirect subsidies. For example, if the Redistributive Impact of Fiscal Policy is positive, that indicates that the net effect of Fiscal Policy is to reduce the Gini Coefficient, from what it otherwise would be without Fiscal Policy (in an accounting sense, not as an economic counterfactual). |
