IMPUESTO SOBRE PRODUCCION [2 records]

Record 1 2016-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Taxation
  • Production (Economics)
CONT

A tax on production is a tax incurred as a result of engaging in production and is payable irrespective of the profitability of the entreprise or the number of units of any good or service produced; they include payroll taxes but no social security taxes and business and professional licences but only if unrequited.

CONT

In Canada ... a tax paid by producers is not collected for exported goods; furthermore, the tax is levied as an excise tax on imports as well as on domestic production. Thus, the production tax--or, in Canada, the [manufacturers'] sales tax--would almost certainly have the same effect on the pattern and volume of trade as a retail sales tax.

CONT

... in theoretical literature, a production tax means a tax on all production, whether sold domestically or in foreign markets. But this is seldom, if ever, the case in practice.

CONT

La taxe sur la valeur ajoutée est un impôt indirect qui, à chaque stade de la production et de la commercialisation, frappe la différence entre le prix de vente d'un produit à ce stade et son coût d'achat au stade antérieur. Pour les entreprises, la TVA comprend deux éléments distincts : 1) en amont, la taxe perçue par l'Administration sur l'entreprise (la taxe sur les achats et services ainsi que sur les immobilisations), et 2) en aval, la taxe perçue par l'entreprise sur son client (la taxe sur les ventes, les produits divers et les cessions d'immobilisations).
