  • 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.
