Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production.

A productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input.

Productivity is a crucial factor in production performance of firms and nations.

Increasing national productivity can raise living standards because more real income improves people's ability to purchase goods and services, enjoy leisure, improve housing and education and contribute to social and environmental programs.

Productivity growth also helps businesses to be more profitable.

There are many different definitions of productivity and the choice among them depends on the purpose of the productivity measurement and/or data availability.

The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets owned by a business.

Assets can be either physical or intangible.

An example of value derived from a physical asset, like a building, is rent.

An example of value derived from an intangible asset, like an idea, is a royalty.

The effort involved in "harvesting" this value is what constitutes business operations cycles.

A tax (from the Latin ) is a financial charge or other levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state to fund various public expenditures.

A failure to pay, or evasion of or resistance to taxation, is usually punishable by law.

Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent.

Most countries have a tax system in place to pay for public/common/agreed national needs and government functions: some levy a flat percentage rate of taxation on personal annual income, some on a scale based on annual income amounts, and some countries impose almost no taxation at all, or a very low tax rate for a certain area of taxation.

Some countries also charge a tax on corporate income, dividends, or distributions—this is often referred to as double taxation as the individual shareholder(s) receiving this payment from the company will also be levied some tax on that personal income.
