sales and service income


plus funding from federal, state and/or local government for operational costs


plus capital work done for own use


plus closing inventories


less opening inventories


less intermediate input expenses


less capitalised purchases


equals IVA.


Wage and salary expenses and most other labour costs are not taken into account in its


calculation and nor are most insurance premiums, interest expenses or depreciation and


a number of lesser expenses including bad debts, computer software expensed and state


gambling taxes.


The derivation of IVA for non-market producers is as follows:


labour costs


plus depreciation


plus land tax


plus capital work done for own use


less capitalised purchases
