Imports of goods and services

Imports of goods refer to goods intended for residents, which are imported from abroad into the Dutch economic territory. The definition of imports includes raw materials, semi-manufactured products, fuels and fixed assets intended for investment. Also included are imported goods, which are re-exported without undergoing any processing.
Imports of services are related to the expenses of Dutch businesses abroad, such as transport costs, bank charges and business travel. Imports of services by the general government include expenditures made by Dutch embassies and consulates abroad. Imports by households include amongst other things, imported consumer goods and the direct consumption expenditure of Dutch tourists, border residents, diplomats and soldiers abroad.

Output

Output covers the value of all goods produced for sale, including unsold goods, and all receipts of services rendered. Output furthermore covers the market equivalent of goods and services produced for own use, such as own account capital formation, services of owner-occupied dwellings and agricultural products produced by farmers for own consumption. The output of such goods is estimated by valuing the quantities produced against the price that the producer would have received if these goods had been sold.
Output is valued at basic prices, defined as the price received by the producer excluding trade and transport margins and the balance of taxes and subsidies on products. This is the price the producer is ultimately left with.

Compensation of employees

Compensation of employees is the total remuneration paid by employers to their employees in return for work done. Employees are all residents and non-residents working in a paid job. Managing directors of limited companies are considered to be employees; therefore their salaries are also included in the compensation of employees. The same holds for people working in sheltered workshops.
Compensation of employees is broken down into wages and salaries and employers' social contributions:

Wages and salaries include income taxes and employees’ social contributions even if they are actually withheld by the employer and paid directly to tax authorities, social security schemes and pension schemes.
Wages include payments that are periodically and directly paid to employees. Besides they contain extras (such as bonuses, overtime pay, tips, commission), wages in kind (such as free housing, free food, ‘company car’, day nursery, lower interest rates on mortgages, free travel (or at reduced prices) and holiday allowances). Furthermore, certain refunds for costs made by the employee, such as travel expenses to and from work, are included as well.

Employers’ social contributions consist of payments to insurers made by employers for the benefit of their employees. They can be classified in employers' social security contributions, employers' private social contributions (of which pension schemes) and the imputed social contributions.
In most cases the employers directly pay the employers’ social contributions to the insurers. However, to show that these contributions are paid for the benefit of employees, these payments are recorded as two transactions: a) employers pay employers’ social contributions to their employees, and b) employees pay the same contributions to social insurance funds.

Property income

Property income is the income receivable by the owner of a financial asset or a tangible non-produced asset in return for providing funds to, or putting the tangible non-produced asset at the deposal of, another institutional unit.
Property income consists of: interest, distributed income of corporations (dividends and withdrawals from income of quasi-corporations), reinvested earnings on direct foreign investments, property income attributed to insurance policy holders and rents on land and subsoil assets.

Final consumption expenditure

Final consumption expenditure consists of expenditure incurred by resident institutional units on goods and services that are used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants or the collective needs of members of the community. Final consumption expenditure may take place on the domestic territory or abroad.
Final consumption expenditure exists only for households, NPI households and general government.

Balancing items

Main macroeconomic balancing items by sectors

Gross domestic product / value added

Value added (basic prices) per sector is equal to the difference between the production (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchasers' prices). Gross domestic product (GDP) is equal to the value added at basic prices of all sectors together plus some transactions which cannot be attributed to sectors. The undistributed transaction consists of taxes less subsidies on products. GDP is also equal to the value of the income generated in the Netherlands.

Gross operating surplus / mixed income

Gross operating surplus is the balance that remains after deducting the compensation of employees and the balance of other taxes and subsidies on production from the value added. The operating surplus of family enterprises is called mixed income, because it also contains compensation for work by the owners and their family members.
The operating surplus of the total economy is the sum of all operating surplus or mixed income of institutional sectors.

Gross national income / primary income

The primary income (national income) is the income that institutional sectors receive for their direct participation in the production process and the income that they receive in exchange for the provision of financial resources, land etc. National income is the sum of GDP and net primary income from the rest of the world. It can also be calculated as the sum of the primary income of all sectors together (total economy).

Gross disposable income

Disposable income is the balancing item of the secondary distribution of income account. It shows for each institutional sector its disposable income, which remains after the redistribution of primary income by compulsory or non-compulsory current transfers between the institutional sectors. Total disposable income of all resident units is called disposable national income, which is equal to national income plus net current transfers received from the rest of the world.

Gross saving

Saving is the difference between disposable income and final consumption expenditure, adjusted for net equity in pension funds reserves.
