Summary:
Basic concept of Value Added Statement (VAS) and detailed procedure, format and treatments of various items for
preparation of VA statement of a company.
A financial statement shows how much wealth a reporting entity has been able to create for its shareholders
within an accounting period through utilization of its capital, employees and other resources. Whereas, the value
added technique is considered to be an effective tool for measuring the performance of a company as it displays
an additional financial information which can supplement the need of various stakeholders.
Therefore, you may say that a value added statement reports value created by an enterprise for different
stakeholders including shareholders through the collective effort of capital, management manpower and other
resources.

Indian food-products Corporation based in Kolkata) and some others prepare VAS as supplementary financial
statement in their annual reports.
Value Added Statement is now being considered as a broad measure of judging the corporate performance than
conventional measures based on traditional accounting system of an enterprise. VAS is regarded as an important
part of Corporate Social Reporting (CSR) which provide additional information to satisfy all stakeholders of the
enterprise.
The Value Added Statement is nothing but a financial statement which displays how much value has been
created by an enterprise during a particular period and application of that created value to the following five
stakeholders including shareholders:
To Pay Employees;
To Pay Directors;
To Pay Government;
To Pay Providers of Capital; and
To Provide for maintenance and Expansion of the company.
The profit and loss account basically concentrate on net profit which is calculated on entity concept and more
attributable towards shareholders. Whereas the VAS is wider in nature and created on enterprise concept or
enterprise theory with an objective that all ascertaining profits attributable to five more stakeholders in addition
to shareholders. Accordingly, the VAS puts profit in a different perspective and focuses on the success of a
company in creating wealth and generating national income.
If you look closer and compare profit and loss account with the value added statement then you will find that
VAS is just reproduced statement of P/L account in a different way to show how much value (wealth) has been
allocated to stakeholders.
But, you should remind one thing that VAS can never substitute the Profit and Loss account which is a part of
Financial Statement in accordance with sub-clause (ii) of clause (40) of section 2 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Consequently, VA statement may be shown as supplementary statement of financial information and is not a
mandatorily requirement for companies.
The term value added may be simply defined as a positive difference between the value of goods or services
produced (i.e. the value of output) and the value of services purchased (i.e. the value of inputs) from other firms
in producing output. In equation form it can be stated as follows:
The Value Added may be classified into two categories: Gross value added (GVA) and Net value added (NVA).
a) Gross Value Added (GVA): The GVA refers to sales plus income from other services less bought-in-
materials and services purchased from outside suppliers; and

b) Net Value Added (NVA): The NVA refers to the difference between GVA and Depreciation. In other
words, NVA is the sum of the value added to employees, to providers of loan capital, to Government and to
owners.
Why most of Companies prefers to report GVA and not the NVA
The majority of British companies as well as Indian companies prefer to present their value added statement as a
report on Gross Value Added (GVA) rather than Net Value Added (NVA). There are two most important reasons
for reporting GVA rather than NVA by companies:
i) Gross Value Added or Total Value Added reports depreciation along with retained profits. GVA shows
that depreciation is also available for reinvestment in addition to the retained earnings and reserves for the
maintenance and expansion of the company.
Whereas, in case of NVA, depreciation is treated as expenses and therefore denotes that it is not available
for re-investment purpose by the enterprise.
ii) The gross measures of national income is also liked by the Economists rather than the net reporting.
Accordingly, the GVA statement is congruent with the economist’s views and preferences for gross
measures of national income. In other words, reporting GVA indicates the company’s contribution to
national income.
The conventional VAS is divided into two parts viz. the first part shows the calculation of Gross and/or Net
value added and the second part displays the application of such value added to different stakeholders.
The cost of bought in material and services shall include the following items i.e. deducted from sales/turnover to
arrive value added by manufacturing and trading activities:
The bank overdraft is a temporary source of finance and therefore shall be considered as the provision of a
banking service rather than of capital. Accordingly, interest on bank overdraft shall be shown by way of
deduction from sales and as a part of ‘cost of bought in material and services’.
Employees means all persons under employer employee relationship e.g. Permanent/Full time worker,
Temporary/Part time workers, Skilled or Unskilled workers/employees, casual labour and traders etc.
irrespective of payment made to them in cash or in kind (Perquisite).

Note that Auditors are not employees of a company and therefore the audit fee shall be treated administration
expenses.
3) Government Taxes:
There are mainly two types of government taxes viz. recoverable and non-recoverable for the purpose of VA
reporting. Taxes which are recovered in sales shall be treated as expense whereas those taxes which are not
recovered shall be shown as contribution towards government.
A) Recoverable Taxes: You may assume that Service Tax, Sales Tax, Excise Duty and Value Added Tax
(VAT) are recoverable taxes and therefore should be shown as expense. In other words, these taxes are not
contribution towards government since they are recoverable.
B) Non Recoverable Taxes: Income Tax, Wealth Tax, Corporation Tax, Tax on distributed profits i.e. CDT,
Cess and Local Taxes are non-recoverable taxes and therefore should be displayed as application towards
government.
Note that the provision for Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) is considered as application towards entity and shall
not be shown as contribution for government.
Any payments made to directors including salaries, remuneration, commission, sitting fee etc. shall be shown as
value addition for them. However, the directors sitting fee may also be treated as expense. In other words, the
Directors sitting fees can either be treated as application or expenses.
Directors include whole time, part time, managing directors, executive directors, non-executive director etc. and
the benefit to them may either be in cash or in kind.
5) Depreciation:
The treatment of depreciation is depends on whether you are going to calculate total value added i.e. GVA or
NVA. If total value added is to be calculated then depreciation should be treated as revenue and shown as
application towards equity. However, in case of NVA it is treated as expenses because NVA can be defined as
GVA less depreciation.
Interest paid to debenture holders, Interest on Fixed Loans from Financial Institutions shall be treated as
application towards financiers i.e. Providers of Capital.
7) Dividend:
Dividend payable or paid shall be treated as application towards shareholders. Shareholders means equity and
preference share holder. Hence, all kind of dividend will be included in the application.
