Distributable income of a corporation is equal to entrepreneurial income, plus all current transfers receivable, less all current transfers payable and less the adjustment for the change in pension entitlements relating to the pension scheme of that corporation.

Distribution and use of income are analysed in four stages: primary distribution, secondary distribution, redistribution in kind and use of income.

-The first stage concerns the generation of income resulting directly from the production process and its distribution between the production factors (labour, capital) and general government (via taxes on production and imports, and subsidies). It enables the operating surplus (or mixed income in the case of households) and primary income to be determined.

-The second stage traces redistribution of income via transfers other than social transfers in kind. This yields the disposable income.

-The third stage describes redistribution via social transfers in kind, yielding the adjusted disposable income.

-The fourth stage describes how the income is consumed and saved, yielding the saving.

The distribution and use of income accounts consist of a set of articulated accounts showing how incomes are:

(a) generated by production;

(b) along with property income, distributed to institutional units with claims on the value added created by production;

(c) redistributed among institutional units, mainly by government units through social security contributions and benefits and taxes; and

(d) eventually used by households, government units or non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs) for purposes of final consumption or saving.
