Description topics
- GDP from the generation of income
- The way GDP is formed by underlying components in the so-called income approach. In this approach the components are the incomes generated from production activities: compensation of employees and operating surplus / mixed income. To remain consistent with GDP at market prices, taxes less subsidies on production and imports (not necessarily product-related) are added.
- 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.
- Taxes and subsidies
- Taxes and subsidies on production and imports, not necessarily product-related. This figures is needed to make GDP calculated by the income approach equal to GDP calculated by the production approach and the expenditure approach.
- Taxes on production and imports
- Taxes on production and imports are compulsory payments to the government and the European Union (EU), which are related to production, imports and to the use of production factors. Taxes on production and imports are classified into taxes on products and other taxes on production.
- Value at prices of 2015
- The values are expressed at prices of the reference period 2015 by taking account of inflation. Alternatively, values may be expressed at prices of the reporting period.

- GDP from the final expenditure
- The way GDP is formed by underlying components in the so-called expenditure approach. In this approach the components are consumption by households, consumption by the general government, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories and exports, minus imports. Consumption, fixed capital formation and changes in inventories add up to the so-called national final expenditure. By adding exports final expenditure is obtained. Intermediate consumption, goods and services used upon production, is not part of final expenditure.
- 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.
- Imports of goods and services (-)
- Transactions in goods and services (sales, barter and gifts) from non-residents to residents (in the Netherlands). Imports of goods occurs when economic ownership of goods is passed from non-residents to residents. This applies irrespective of corresponding physical movements of goods across frontiers.

- De invoer van goederen en diensten bestaat uit de goederen- en dienstenstromen (verkoop, ruil en giften) van niet-ingezetenen naar ingezetenen. Invoer van goederen vindt plaats wanneer de economische eigendom van goederen door een niet-ingezetene wordt overgedragen aan een ingezetene, ongeacht of er sprake is van een fysieke grensoverschrijdende goederenbeweging.
Tot de invoer van goederen worden de goederen gerekend, die door niet-ingezetenen aan ingezetenen zijn geleverd. Hiertoe behoren ook voor verwerking in het productieproces benodigde grondstoffen, halffabricaten, brandstoffen en voor investeringen bestemde vaste activa. De invoer omvat verder goederen die, zonder noemenswaardige bewerking te hebben ondergaan, weer zijn uitgevoerd (wederuitvoer).
De invoer van diensten heeft onder meer betrekking op de uitgaven van Nederlandse bedrijven in het buitenland, zoals vervoerskosten, bankkosten en zakenreizen. Bij de overheid gaat het onder meer om uitgaven van Nederlandse ambassades en consulaten in het buitenland. De invoer door huishoudens bestaat onder meer uit ingevoerde consumptiegoederen en de directe consumptieve bestedingen van Nederlandse toeristen, grensbewoners, diplomaten en militairen in het buitenland.
