1993 SNA Update Information - Expert comments for issue:
Taxes on holding gains |
| Issue description | | Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish] | | Taxes on capital gains are treated as taxes on income and deducted from income while the tax base (the realized holding gains) is not included in the SNA definition of income. Is this a contradiction that should suggest alternative treatments or should the SNA treatment remain the same? |

The only new matter that was proposed is to show such taxes as part of the current taxes on income and wealth in special category. That proposal looks fine. |
