This table presents Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its components according to the income approach. In the income approach, GDP is measured as the sum of compensation of employees (wages and salaries paid to employees and their employers’ social contributions), plus gross operating surplus (business profits) and gross mixed income (profits of the self-employed), plus taxes on production and imports less subsidies. Data is presented for each country in national currency as well as in euros for the European Union and the euro area. The presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter. These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the QNA dataset.
