Producer price is the basic price plus taxes on the output invoiced to the purchaser less subsidies received by the producer from the government. 

Purchasers’ price is the amount paid by the buyer for a unit of output less any taxes invoiced by the seller but deductible by the purchaser. It should be equal to the producer price plus transport costs and trade margins on products, which are not separately invoiced.

  • Agriculture; forestry; fishing
  • Industry

Compensation of employees  as a component of value added may be paid to residents or to non residents by resident producers. Compensation of employees has two main components: 

  1. Wages and salaries in cash and in kind
    1. Wages and salaries in cash
    2. Wages and salaries in kind
  2. The value of the social contributions payable by employers
    1. Employers' actual social contributions
    2. Employers' imputed social contributions

Wages and salaries in cash include all payments employees receive directly for their work, including commissions, tips, special or recurrent bonuses. The amounts are recorded before deductions for the employees own contributions to social security, payment of income taxes etc. Employers’ contributions to social security schemes and the social benefits in kind are included in total value of compensation of employees. Included are also employers’ contributions to the saving fund and to the housing fund, on behalf of their employees. But the payments of retirement pensions and of severance allowances are excluded from compensation of employees.
