Hi,

This is shown on an invoice for construction work carried out. It is included below the subtotal but before the VAT is added.

Does anyone know what G.G. and B.I. stand for?

Many thanks : )

genereal expenses and industrial profit

Explanation:
GG = Gastos Generales = General Expenses

BI = Beneficio Industrial = Industrial Profit

This has come up before and there are different opinions on how to translate the terms, I believe. I'll try to find them
