Description topics
- General government (consolidated)
- The sector general government primarily consists of all entities (covered by public law) that carry out activities regarding the redistribution of income and wealth. In the Netherlands this concerns ministries, municipalities, provinces, water boards and the like. In the second place general government consists of entities that are controlled and mainly financed by the aforementioned entities, and do not produce for the market. Non-market output means that the sale proceeds are structural less than 50 per cent of the production costs. In this way, for instance, Prorail and the Open University are counted to the general government.
Government institutions that are active abroad, like embassies, belong to the sector general government as well. On the other hand foreign embassies and international institutions, like Europol and the International Court of Justice, do not belong to the Dutch government.
Public enterprises (like the Dutch Railways, Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol), the Dutch Municipal Bank (BNG) and quasi-corporations are no part of the sector general government. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) also does not belong to the sector general government.
The general government sector is split up into three subsectors: central government, local government and social security funds.

Consolidated means that the transactions between government-units are eliminated.- Taxes and social security contributions
- The total of taxes and social security contributions which the Government receives.
Taxes are mandatory payments to the Government with no direct compensation. The taxes are divided into:
- taxes on production and imports;
- taxes on income and capital;
- wealth taxes (capital transfers).
Social security contributions are payments by households to social insurance institutions for the financing of the social benefits.
The total tax and contribution revenues of the Government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the total tax and contribution revenues of the Government for the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.
