Statistical presentation | |
Data description | National accounts for Bulgaria are compiled according to the main methodological recommendations of the documents "System of National Accounts, 2008" (SNA2008), an issue of EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD, UN and the World Bank, and "European System of Accounts, 2010" (ESA 2010), an issue of EUROSTAT. Main macroeconomic indicator of the system of national accounts is the gross domestic product (GDP). The method of income is an integral part of the accounts for the primary distribution of income. Approach reflects income as an element of the value added created in the production process. Balance sheet item of income approach is the gross operating surplus / mixed income. |

Sector coverage | Total economy |
Statistical concepts and definitions | The Generation of Income account is compiled in parallel with the Production account and shows the activity, economic and institutional sector in which the primary incomes originate. Gross value added is the resource of this account. Scheme for the calculation of GDP by the value method is as follows: Gross domestic product (market prices ) = + Compensation of employees ( labour costs and social security ) + Net other taxes on production and imports (taxes - subsidies on production and imports ) + Gross operating surplus / mixed income + Adjustments Components of the value method are grouped by economic sector, sectors and can only be assessed at current prices as follows: Compensation of employees comprising two main components:
Wages include all charges by the employer in cash and in kind, and all payments under employment legislation by reason of the employees work in the period before the payments made for income tax. Social security contributions paid by the employer are payments for social security in order to secure funds for the payment of pensions, social benefits. These payments include social security contributions (actual and imputed), the contributions payable by the employer including health insurance contributions. Their size is defined as a percentage of the gross wage. Other net taxes (taxes less subsidies) on production and imports are included as a component of value added by industry and are related to the production as a whole, not compensated by the employer payments to the state budget, less subsidies on production, provide business units. Gross operating surplus / mixed income is the balancing item in the value method. It is a measure of the production activities of the business units. In unincorporated enterprises owned by households, this balancing item is called mixed income and contains as an element profits and remuneration for work by the owner himself or members of his family. Position can be represented in gross or net terms regarding the consumption of fixed capital (depreciation). |
