GLOSSARY All capitalised costs incurred in developing an asset developed in-house by the employees of the business/organisation for use by the business or for rental or lease, excluding any amounts included in capitalised wages and salaries paid to own employees. This includes the costs of goods and materials used to develop and build the asset and services such as invoiced amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for their involvement in the project. Prior to the 2014-15 EAS, this item excluded amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for their involvement in the project. Capitalised wages and salaries Capitalised payment of wages and salaries and 'on-costs' paid to employees for work done by own employees in manufacturing, constructing, installing or repairing assets, mineral and petroleum exploration activities or in developing computer software in-house for use by the business or for rental or lease, including wages paid to own employees to project manage the development of the asset. 'On-costs' include employee entitlements such as superannuation, fringe benefits tax and workers' compensation. Prior to the 2014-15 EAS, this item excluded any 'on-costs' paid to the employee in addition to their wages and salaries. Change in inventories The value of total closing inventories less total opening inventories. Closing inventories The value of all inventories of finished goods (including mineral ores), work-in-progress (less progress payments billed), raw materials, fuels and containers at the end of the reporting period. Contract mining expenses Contract payments for Mining services. Includes amounts paid/payable to Mining contractors and associated freight charges for materials brought in by the contractor.Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation/amortisation allowed on tangible and intangible assets. Includes, for lessees only, depreciation/amortisation in respect of finance leases. Disposal of assets Proceeds from the sale of tangible assets (plant, machinery, equipment, land, dwellings, other buildings and structures), and intangible assets (such as patents, licences and goodwill).

Items classifiable to other income are also excluded. Employer contributions into superannuation Includes all employer contributions to superannuation funds (including the employer productivity contribution) and provisions for employer contributions to superannuation funds. Also includes expenses relating to employer funded defined benefit schemes. Employee contributions and salary sacrifice contributions are excluded. Employment at end of June Number of persons working for Mining businesses during the last pay period ending in June of the given year.

Excludes non-salaried directors and volunteers. Freight and cartage expenses Includes handling charges and payments to owner/drivers for delivery of minerals. Excludes the cost of delivery by own vehicles and employees and overseas freight and cartage on goods exported. Fringe benefits tax Fringe benefits tax is payable by employers when certain benefits in excess of normal wages or salaries (e.g. free or discounted goods or services) are received by their employees (or associates of employees) in connection with their employment. Funding from government for operational costs Comprises funding from government for amounts reimbursed under fuel tax credits and for other operational costs. For details, see the entries for these items below. Funding from government for operational costs: Amount reimbursed under fuel tax credits The Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme was replaced by fuel tax credits from 1 July 2006. Fuel tax credits provide businesses with a credit for the fuel tax (excise or customs duty) included in the price of fuel used for business activities in machinery, plant, equipment and heavy vehicles. Funding from government for operational costs: Other operational costs Funding from federal, state and/or local government for operational costs (e.g. wages and salaries, rent, food) apart from amounts reimbursed under fuel tax credits (which is separately published). Includes bounties, subsidies, export grants, apprenticeship and traineeship schemes, and community service obligation payments. Excludes funding from government for specific capital items. Funding from government for specific capital items Includes capital grants, and low interest or interest free loans made by government to businesses to encourage expenditure on specific equipment (e.g. environmental protection equipment).Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) Gross fixed capital formation is measured by the total value of a producer's acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during the reference period, plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the productive activity of businesses. Fixed assets are tangible or intangible assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly or continuously in other processes of production for more than one year. The derivation of GFCF is as follows: Acquisition of
Other transport equipment Industrial machinery and equipment Computer software capitalised Computers and computer peripherals Electronic equipment and electrical machinery Communications equipment Other plant and equipment Dwellings, other buildings and structures Computer software expensed Mining exploration expenditure written off
Disposal of dwellings, other buildings and structures Income from services See entry for sales and service income. Industry class The structure of ANZSIC comprises four levels, ranging from industry division (broadest level) to industry class (finest level). Activities are narrowly defined within the industry class level, which is identified by a four-digit code, e.g. Industry Class 0801 Iron ore mining. Usually, an activity is primarily defined to one class. However, some activities may be primary to more than one class. Industry division The structure of ANZSIC comprises four levels, ranging from industry division (broadest level) to industry class (finest level). The main purpose of the industry division level is to provide a limited number of categories which give a broad overall picture of the economy. There are 19 divisions within ANZSIC, each identified by an alphabetical letter, that is, 'A' for Agriculture, forestry and fishing, 'B' for Mining, 'C' for Manufacturing, etc. This is the broadest level category within each industry division of ANZSIC and is identified by a two-digit code, e.g. Industry Subdivision 06 for Coal mining. Industry subdivisions are built up from industry groups which, in turn, are built up from industry classes. Industry value added (IVA) IVA is an estimate of the difference between the market value of the output of an industry and the purchases of materials and expenses incurred in the production of that output. The derivation of IVA for individual businesses depends on whether they are classified as market or non-market producers. Non-market producers are those institutions which provide goods or services either free or at prices that are not economically significant. In other words, their prices are not significantly influenced by the amounts that producers are willing to supply, nor the amounts that users are willing to pay to purchase the goods or services being provided. Conversely, market producers provide goods and services at prices that are economically significant. For market producers, the derivation of IVA is as follows:
Capital work done for own use Change in inventories
Other intermediate input expenses However, it should be noted that IVA is a measure of economic activity and is not equivalent to operating profit before tax (OPBT). Wage and salary expenses, and most other labour costs, are not taken into account in the calculation for market producers, neither are interest expenses, depreciation or a number of lesser expenses. On the income side, OPBT includes total income, whereas IVA only includes sales and service income and government funding for operational costs. As a principle, the output of non-market production is valued at cost, including intermediate input expenses. As shown in the above derivation, purchases and other intermediate input expenses are deducted from output in order to arrive at IVA. Accordingly, the derivation of IVA for non-market producers can be described as follows:
Estimates of industry value added are obtained by summing the contributions of businesses classified to that industry, both market and (if any) non-market producers. Market producers predominate in most industries. Industry value added is related to, but different from, the national accounting variable gross value added (GVA). For national accounts purposes, GVA is calculated by adjusting IVA to include General government units and also to account for some other effects, such as inventory holding adjustments and adjustments for financial intermediary services, insurance services, and prices, taxes and subsidies. Industry value added per person employed IVA of businesses which operated in a given industry during the given year, divided by the number of persons employed by businesses in that industry during the last pay period ending in June of that year. Persons employed include working proprietors and partners. Insurance premiums Premiums for fire, general, accident, public liability, optional third-party and comprehensive motor vehicle insurance, professional indemnity insurance and common law liability.

Interest coverage The number of times that businesses can meet their interest expenses from their earnings before net interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), i.e. (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) divided by interest expenses.Interest expenses Includes interest paid on loans from banks, finance companies, partners, and related or unrelated businesses, and in respect of finance leases. Also includes interest equivalents, such as hedging costs, and expenses associated with discounted bills. Excludes bank charges other than interest, and capital repayments. Interest income Includes interest received from deposits in banks and non-bank financial institutions, loans, advances, finance leases and earnings on discounted bills. Excludes capital repayments received. Investment rate (value added) The proportion of industry value added (IVA) used to acquire capital, i.e. (capital expenditure divided by IVA) multiplied by 100. Labour costs Comprises wages and salaries (including salary sacrificed earnings paid on behalf of employees and employee share based payments and stock options), employer contributions into superannuation, workers' compensation premiums/costs, fringe benefits tax and payroll tax. Also includes capitalised wages and salaries. Motor vehicle running expenses Includes expenditure on registration fees, compulsory third-party insurance premiums, fuel, and repair and maintenance expenses for on-road motor vehicles. Excludes expenses for off-road motor vehicles (e.g. mobile plant, quarry dump trucks) and lease payments, optional third party and comprehensive motor vehicle insurance premiums, and depreciation. Natural resource royalties expenses Includes payments under mineral lease arrangements, payments under timber and quarrying lease arrangements, and resource rent taxes and royalties. Excludes payments for royalties from intellectual property (e.g. patents and copyrights) and computer software licence fees. Gold tax payments are also excluded. Net capital expenditure The value of total capital expenditure less proceeds received from the disposal of assets. See the entries for these items. Opening inventories The value of all inventories of finished goods (including mineral ores), work-in-progress (less progress payments billed), raw materials, fuels and containers at the beginning of the reporting period. Operating profit before tax (OPBT) Profit before extraordinary items are brought to account and prior to the deduction of income tax and appropriations to owners (e.g. dividends paid), i.e. total income less total expenses plus change in inventories. Other contract, subcontract and commission expenses Payments to other businesses and self-employed persons for work done or sales made on a contract or commission basis. Payments to persons paid by commission without a retainer are also included. Includes payments to owner drivers for removal of material, but not for delivery of the final mineral product.

Other intermediate input expenses This is a balancing item. It is the difference between the sum of (sales and service income, funding from government for operational costs, capital work done for own use and change in inventories) less purchases of goods and materials and industry value added.Payroll tax A tax levied by state and territory governments on the amount of wages and salaries paid by a business. Excludes pay-as-you-go withholding tax. Profit margin The percentage of sales and service income available as operating profit before tax (OPBT), i.e. (OPBT divided by sales and service income) multiplied by 100.
