Turnover tax

Turnover tax

A turnover tax is similar to a sales tax or a VAT, with the difference that it taxes intermediate and possibly capital goods. It is an indirect tax, typically on an ad valorem basis, applicable to a production process or stage. For example, when manufacturing activity is completed, a tax may be charged on some companies. Sales tax occurs when merchandise has been sold.

A different meaning of Turnover Tax:The turnover tax is a sales tax used in planned economies to fund the jurisdiction and control demand for some product. The central authority in a command economy leaves the supplier a profit deemed to be fair, and takes the rest as a turnover task (i.e., money turned over to the government.) If the cost of production exceeds the market price, a negative turnover tax (a subsidy) may be used.
