This table contains data on the revenues of the government sector. The revenues of the government sector consist of tax revenues, social contributions received, income from production activities, other current income and capital transfers received. The terms used are in line with the National Accounts. The National accounts are based on the international definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). The transaction moment determines the moment of booking. The data presented is in line with the publications on the National Accounts. There may be small temporary differences with the publications of the national accounts because the published figures of the government accounts are sometimes more up-to-date. The data in this table is consolidated, that is, mutual flows are eliminated. As a result, the expenditure and income of the subsectors do not add up to the total expenditure and income of the government. Payments from, for example, the central government to the municipalities form part of the expenditures of the central government and the income of the municipalities. They do not count for the expenditure and income of the general government, since they are payments from the government to the government. Data available from: Annual figures from 1995, quarterly figures from 1999. Status of the figures: The figures in this table have the status final for the period 1995-2020. The quarters of 2021 have a provisional status. The annual figures for 2021 have the status of final. The figures for 2022 and 2023 have a provisional status.

The figures for the quarters of 2020 and the year 2021 are now final. The figures are in line with publications of the National Accounts. When will new numbers come out? The first figures of the most recent quarter are published three months after the end of a quarter. Subsequently, the first quarter can be adjusted in September, the second quarter in December and the first three quarters in March. The first annual figures are published three months after the end of the year under review. Subsequently, the annual figures are adjusted twice: six and eighteen months after the end of the year under review. In addition, interim updates may take place to provide the European Commission with the most up-to-date data on government at the end of March and the end of September. The data for the quarters are reconciled with the adjusted annual figures. The adjusted annual and quarterly figures are published each year at the end of June.
