Coûts se rapportant directement à une activité ou à une section particulière de l'entité, mais ne se rattachant qu'indirectement aux extrants.

OBS

Pour éviter toute méprise entre direct et indirect, on précise souvent l'objet de la relation directe établie, comme dans les expressions «coûts indirects spécifiques à… la section X» [...] Dans un contexte suffisamment explicite, on peut simplifier l'expression par «coûts indirects de la section» [...]
