Description
Annual income of households on 1 January of the survey year
Methodology
Income Statistics uses data derived from administrations, the most important data supplier of
which is the Tax and Customs Administration. It provides for each person, insofar as it appears in
the basic tax register:
- basic data of the wage tax cards sent to the tax authorities (usually electronically) by withholding
agents;
- basic data for the levying of income tax (tax return form, determined taxable income, etc.);
In addition, data is collected from the student grant registrations of the Education Executive
Agency (DUO). This concerns the Study Cost Allowance for persons under the age of 18 and the
Student Finance Act. Furthermore, demographic data about the household composition of the
population, data from the policy administration and data about enrollment in education are used.
With effect from the 2011 reporting year, the income statistics have been revised. The income of
not all households has been observed. When no household income is observed, all fields related
to monetary values are filled with "9999999999".
Process flow
The population of the income statistics includes all households in the Netherlands on 1 January
of the year under review. In fact, this concerns the households at the end of the year preceding
the year under review. In the publication on Statline, persons residing in institutions, institutions
and homes and private households for which no data could be determined are not taken into
account.
