Définition
Subsidies on products (D31) are subsidies payable per unit of a good or service produced or imported.
The amount of subsidies on products can be specified in the following ways:
(a) a specific amount of money per unit of quantity of a good or service;
(b) a specified percentage of the price per unit;
(c) the difference between a specified target price and the market price paid by a buyer.
A subsidy on a product usually becomes payable when the good is produced, sold or imported, but it may also be payable in other circumstances such as when a good is transferred, leased, delivered or used for own consumption or own capital formation.
Subsidies on products only apply to market output (P11) or to output for own final use (P12).
