Table explanation


This table covers the financial data (such as operating expenses and revenues) and employment of companies in the Netherlands controlled by an institutional unit abroad. The data are consistent with Eurostat's Foreign Affiliates Statistics (FATS).

Data available from: 2021.

Status of the figures:
2021 and 2022 figures are final.

Changes as of Februari 10, 2025:
The figures for R&D expenditures and R&D employees have been revised. Additionally, the unit for employed persons has been changed to thousands. Also a different method for calculating confidentiality has been applied, resulting in more data being available.

Also this tabel has been updated with data from 2022. This table is the successor of the table "Foreign control companies in the Netherlands; 2008-2020" which reports at a different SBI level. Data in this table can be compared, where SBI, UCI and subject match (see paragraph 3).

When will new figures be published?
New figures will appear in the fall of 2025.

Financial details
Value of output
Value of output measures the quantity actually produced by the entity based on sales, changes in inventories and resales of goods and services.
Production value is defined as sales, plus or minus the changes in inventories of finished goods, work in progress and goods and services purchased for resale, minus the purchases of goods and services for resale, plus capitalized production, plus other operating income (excluding subsidies). Income and expenditure classified as financial or extraordinary in company accounts is excluded from production value.
Purchases of goods and services for resale include purchases of services purchased for resale to third parties in the same condition as received.
Value added at factor cost
Value added at factor cost refers to gross income from operating activities after adjusting for operating subsidies and indirect taxes.
Value-added at factor cost can be calculated as sales plus capitalized production, plus other operating income, plus or minus inventory changes, minus purchases of goods and services, minus other taxes on products that are linked to sales but not deductible, minus non-product taxes. Value added at factor cost can also be calculated by adding personnel costs to gross operating surplus.
Income and expenditure classified as financial or extraordinary in company accounts is excluded from value added. Value added at basic prices is calculated 'gross' because value adjustments (such as depreciation) are not subtracted.
