Subsidies


Definition:
Non-refundable financial aid provided by the state for important social reasons to the producer of certain products (commodities and services) in order to compensate the difference between revenue from sale prices regulated by the state (lower than the costs of manufacturing of these products) and the costs paid in order to manufacture them.


Subsidies cover also grant and surcharge amounts received by the unit, regardless of what their source of financing is (state budget or self-government).
