Primary distribution of income account

The allocation of primary income account describes the distribution of
value added over all participants (i.e. the suppliers of the production
factors labour and capital) in the production process. It is shown how
wages and salaries of employees end up at those households to which they
belong. This provides a statistical description on how the labour market
(where individual employees are active) is related to different households
groups. This information opens the door to further research on the
dependence of the different household groups on demand and compensation of
the different kinds of labour.

Uses

Transactions paid.

Total property income

Interest + Withdrawals from income of quasi-corporations +
Income from land and subsoil assets.

Primary income (net)

This is the balancing item of the allocation of the primary income account

Secondary distribution of income account

The distribution of secondary income account shows the redistribution of
income. The consequence of government policy on disposable income of
household groups is shown here. The balancing item is disposable income by
household group.

Uses

Transactions paid.

Total current taxes on income and wealth

Current taxes on income and wealth of households include all taxes,
which are periodically imposed on income and wealth, such as the
income tax, the wage tax, and the tax on net wealth of individuals.
Non-periodical levies, such as inheritance tax are defined as capital
transfers.

Total social contributions

Social contributions include social security contributions, private social
contributions (o.w. contributions to pension schemes) and imputed social
contributions. Employers, employees, self-employed persons and inactive
persons pay these contributions.
Actually, the employers' part is paid directly to the insurers.
However, in the national accounts, the employers' contributions are
supposed to be part of primary income of households (i.e. the income
from direct participation in the production process). Therefore, in first
instance these contributions are treated as payments by employers to
households as compensation of employees, who are deemed to pay
them to the insurers in the income account.

Total other current transfers

Total other current transfers (uses) consist of
Unfunded employee social benefits, Non-life insurance premiums and
Other current transfers n.e.c.
Unfunded employee social benefits
These social benefits are directly paid by employers (self-employed)
to their (former) employees, without involving any social security fund.
Non-life insurance premiums
Non-life insurance premiums comprise both the actual premiums payable
by policyholders to obtain insurance cover during the accounting period,
and the premium supplements payable out of the property income
attributed to insurance policy holders, after deducting the compensation
of insurance services. These premiums provide cover against damage as
a result of fires, floods, crashes, collisions, sinkings, theft, violence,
accidents, sickness, etc.
As the compensation of insurance services of non-life insurance
enterprises is calculated by subtracting the claims from the premiums
(actual premiums and premium supplements), it follows that the total
non-life insurance premiums must equal the total non-life insurance
claims of the insurance enterprises.
Other current transfers n.e.c.
This transaction includes all transactions not mentioned before, that are
not capital transfer. This concerns particularly the current transfers
within the general government.

Disposable income (net)

Disposable income (excluding consumption of fixed capital) is the
balancing item of the secondary distribution of income account.
It shows for each sector its disposable income, which remains after
the redistribution of primary income by compulsory or non-compulsory
current transfers between the sectors.

Transactions per capita

The compilations of the per capita data is based on the total value per
household type divided by the number of persons of that household type per
region..
