Retained profits of state enterprises. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 45. c. Retained pro/its of consumer cooperatives. This item (0.821 billion rubles) is the difference between net profits (1.321 billion rubles) and the sum of (1) income taxes (0.462 billion rubles) and (2) premiums paid to employees (0.038 billion rubles). All data are from CIA, GNP 1970. pp. 45-46. d. Retained profits of other organizations. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. 2. Charges to economic enterprises for special funds a. Social insurance and social security. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. b. Education. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. c. Research. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. d. Social-cultural and sports activities. This item (0.162 billion rubles), estimated as 0.15 percent of total wages of khozraschet enterprises, represents funds paid to trade unions for support of social-cultural and sports activities. A proxy for the total wages of khozraschet enterprises is the total state wage bill (table D-1, item 1) less the wages in health, education, government administrative services, and part of science (the latter taken at half the state budget allocation for science, net of investment). The wage bills of these sectors are shown in table D-8, column 7. e. Militarized guards. This item (0.880 billion rubles) is estimated at half of total current outlays on civilian police (table D-4, item 2,d,[3]). It represents charges to enterprise costs that are known to be incurred for the support of the rnilitarized guard. It is thought that a substantial share of such police are used to guard state reserves and prisoners working on contract in ordinary productive enterprises. f. Administrative expenses of higher echelons. This item (1.065 billion rubles) is estimated at 30.8 percent of total current outlays on state administration, the estimated share of employment in economic administration (trusts, offices, and others) in total state administration employment. The share was extrapolated to 1970 on the basis of its growth between 1960 (24.0 percent) and 1967 (28.6 percent—Trud v SSSR, p. 29). This item is intended to represent the charge to costs of khozraschet enterprises for “support of higher echelons,” a standard item in enterprise accounts. Outlays on state administration (3.458 billion rubles) are calculated at 90.5 percent of outlays on state administration and social organizations (3.821 billion rubles—table D-4, item 2,c). This share is derived in CIA, GNP I970, p. 54. ~ 3.Taxes and other payments to the budget a. Tax on income of collective farms. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. b. Tax on income of consumer cooperatives. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. c. Tax on income of other organizations. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. d. Deductions from profits of state enterprises. See CIA, GNP I970, p. 46. e. Turnover tax. See Gosbyudzhet I 972, p. 17. f. Miscellaneous charges. The estimate of this item is substantially revised from the method described in CIA, GNP I 970, p. 47. In concept, this item still represents the share of unidentified budget- ary income which is received from current production activity plus 134 Approved for Release: 2019/07/19 C05210421
