Approaches of domestic product (GDP); NA, 1969-2016
Explanation of symbols
Table explanation
This table presents annual data on the output components, the final expenditure categories and the income components of gross domestic product of the Netherlands. In the national accounts gross domestic product is approached from three points of view: from the output, from the generation of income and from the final expenditure. Gross domestic product is a main macroeconomic indicator. The volume change of gross domestic product is a measure for the economic growth of a country.
Data available from: 1969 up to and including 2016.
Status of the figures:

Description topics
- GDP from the output
- The way GDP is formed by underlying components in the so-called production approach. In this approach GDP equals the sum of value added over all branches (including non-commercial ones). Value added is thereby registered at basic prices. GDP at market prices is obtained by adding taxes less subsidies on production and the difference between imputed and paid VAT. The included taxes and subsidies apply both to produced and imported goods and services. Examples of these are VAT and taxes on import.
- Value at current prices
- The values are expressed at prices of the reporting period. Alternatively, values may be expressed at constant prices. In this case, prices of a reference period are used.
- Gross value added basic prices
- The value of all goods and services produced (‘production value’ or ‘output’), minus those that have been intermediately used upon production. Value added is rated at basic prices, the prices experienced by the producer: per branch product related taxes have been subtracted from the original prices, and subsidies haven been added to them.
Value added at market prices of the total economy (GDP) is calculated as follows:
total value added at basic prices of industries
plus: balance of taxes and subsidies on products
plus: difference imputed and paid VAT
= GDP (market prices)
VAT, taxes on imports and subsidies on re-exports cannot be attributed to individual industries. Therefore, GDP at market prices cannot be broken down completely by industry.
Value added can be valued gross (including consumption of fixed capital) or net (excluding consumption of fixed capital).- A Agriculture, forestry and fishing

- Taxes and subsidies on products
- Taxes on products are related to the value or the volume of products. They are levied on domestically produced or trans acted products and on imported products. Taxes on products are classified into taxes on domestic products, taxes on imports and VAT.
Subsidies on products are related to the value or the volume of products. They can be distinguished between subsidies on domestic products and subsidies on imports.- Taxes less subsidies on products
- Taxes on products less subsidies on products.
- Taxes on products
- Taxes that are payable per unit of a given good or service produced or imported. The tax may be a specific amount of money per unit of quantity of a good or service, or it may be calculated as a specified percentage of the price per unit or value of the goods and services produced or traded.
- Subsidies on products
- Subsidies payable per unit of a good or service produced or imported. The amount of subsidies is related to the value or amount of product.
- Difference imputed and paid VAT
- Imputed VAT differs from VAT actually paid to the government. This is due to acquittals, bad debts, fines, the Regulation for small entrepreneurs and VAT evasion. The difference is not allocated to different branches, but added to the sum of value added at basic prices plus product-related taxes minus subsidies on the level of the economy as a whole. Thus GDP at market prices is obtained.
- Value at prices of 2010
- The values are expressed at prices of the reference period 2010 by taking account of inflation. Alternatively, values may be expressed at prices of the reporting period.
- Gross value added basic prices
- The value of all goods and services produced (‘production value’ or ‘output’), minus those that have been intermediately used upon production. Value added is rated at basic prices, the prices experienced by the producer: per branch product related taxes have been subtracted from the original prices, and subsidies haven been added to them.
