The economic productivity metric known as GVA or, the gross value added, measures the contribution that a corporation's subsidiary, a company, or a municipality makes to an economy, sector, or region. A country's gross domestic product (GVA) is calculated by subtracting the cost of all inputs and raw materials that are directly related to that production from the total quantity of goods and services produced in that country. As a result, GVA adjusts GDP in response to the effects of product subsidies and taxes (tariffs).The primary precepts of the GVA are:

1. The economic productivity metric known as GVA or, the gross value added, measures the contribution made by a municipality, corporate subsidiary, or producer, sector, or region to an economy.

2. The country's gross value added (GVA) is the difference between gross and net output minus intermediate consumption.

3. GVA is important because it is used to adjust GDP, which is an important indicator of a country's overall economy.

4. Additionally, it can be used to determine the amount of money a product or service has contributed to a company's fixed costs.

GVA or, the gross value added is the result of the country less the middle utilization, which is the contrast between gross result and net result. GVA is important because it is used to calculate GDP, which is a crucial indicator of the state of a country's economy as a whole. It can also be used to see how much value is added to (or taken away) from a specific state, province, or region. GVA is sometimes favored over GDP or gross national product (GNP) as a national measure of total economic output and growth. Through product taxation and product subsidy, GVA is linked to GDP. It subtracts taxes imposed on other parts of the economy and adds back subsidies that governments give to some parts of the economy. This metric is frequently used to represent the gross value added (GVA) of a specific product, service, or business unit at the company level. The company is aware of the amount of net value that a particular operation adds to its bottom line after subtracting the effects of depreciation and the consumption of fixed capital. In other words, the product's contribution to the company's profit is shown by the GVA number.

Formula for GVA

GVA = GDP + SP − TP

where,

SP= Subsidies that are given on products

TP= Taxes that are levied on products

A hypothetical illustration of the Gross Value Added

Let us consider a typical example of a country with the following figures to calculate the GVA for that country:

Consumption (Private) = Rs.500 billion

Investment (Gross) = Rs.250 billion

Investment (Government) = Rs.150 billion

Spending (Government) = Rs.250 billion

Cumulative exports = Rs.150 billion

Cumulative imports = Rs.125 billion

Cumulative taxes levied on products = 10%

Cumulative subsidies given on products = 5%

Do remember that the GDP is the sum total of the private consumption, gross investment, government investment, government spending and (exports - imports):

So, the GDP becomes = Rs.500 billion + Rs.250 billion + Rs.150 billion + Rs.250 billion + (Rs.150 billion - Rs.125 billion) = Rs.1.175 trillion

We then work out the taxes levied on products and the subsidies. Assume, for the sake of simplicity, that all private consumption is product consumption. Then, the taxes and subsidies would be as follows:

Subsidies given on products = Rs.500 billion x 5% = Rs.25 billion

Taxes levied on products = Rs.500 billion x 10% = Rs.50 billion

So, now the GVA is = Rs.1.175 trillion + Rs.25 billion - Rs.50 billion = Rs.1.15 trillion
