Definitions
Taxes on Production and Imports: taxes that producers pay for the production, sale, purchase, and use of goods and services, and which add to the market prices of those goods and services. Includes goods and services tax, sales tax, local authority rates, import and excise duties, and fringe benefit tax.
Taxes on Production and Imports = GST + Import Duties + Taxes on Production (e.g. excise duties and levies) + Other Taxes on Production.
Taxes on Production and Imports are a component of the GDP (production measure) and of the National Disposable Income.
GDP = Compensation of employees + Gross operating surplus + Taxes on production and imports - subsidies.
National disposable income = Compensation of employees + Gross operating surplus + Taxes on production and imports - subsidies +/- Compensation of employees from the rest of the world (net) +/- Investment income from the rest of the world (net) +/- Current transfers from the rest of the world (net) - Consumption of fixed capital.
