Operating Surplus refers to the balance of the value-added created by the resident units after deducting the laborers' remuneration, net taxes on production, and the depreciation of fixed assets. It is equivalent to the business profit of the enterprises plus subsidies to production, but the wages and welfare expenses paid from the profits should be deducted.
