• Final consumption expenditure is expenditure by resident institutional units - including households and enterprises whose main economic centre of interest is in that economic territory - on goods or services that are used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants or the collective needs of members of the community.

• A resident institutional unit is an institutional unit that is resident because it has a centre of economic interest in the economic territory of a country (or a grouping like the European Union (EU) or the euro area).

• The sectors of an economy are composed of two main types of institutional units:– households and individuals who make up a household;– legal and social entities, such as corporations and quasi-corporations (e.g.

branches of foreign direct investors), non-profit institutions, and the government of that economy.

• Private final consumption expenditure includes NPISH's (non-profit institutions serving households) and households' final consumption expenditure. The household sector (ESA95, 2.75) consists of individuals or groups of individuals as consumers and possibly also as entrepreneurs producing market goods and non-financial and financial services (market producers) provided that, in the latter case, the corresponding activities are not those of separate entities treated as quasi-corporations. It also includes individuals or groups of individuals as producers of goods or non-financial services for exclusively own final use. Non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH, ESA95, 3.78 and 2.87) are separate legal entities serving households. They include for example trade unions, professional societies, political parties, churches, charities, sports clubs etc.

• M3 = Currency in circulation + Overnight deposits + Deposits with an agreed maturity up to 2 years + Deposits redeemable at a period of notice up to 3 months + Repurchase agreements + Money market fund (MMF) shares/units + Debt securities up to 2 years

• Broad money (M3) comprises M2 and marketable instruments issued by the MFI sector. Certain money market instruments, in particular money market fund (MMF) shares/units and repurchase agreements are included in this aggregate. A high degree of liquidity and price certainty make these instruments close substitutes for deposits. As a result of their inclusion, M3 is less affected by substitution between various liquid asset categories than narrower definitions of money, and is therefore more stable.

• Stamp duty is a tax the government levies on the purchase of all residential property whether new or old.

• A capital gains tax is chargeable on the gains arising from the disposals of assets. Any form of property (other than Irish currency) including an interest in property (as, for example, a lease) is an asset for capital gains tax.

• Corporation tax in the Republic of Ireland is a levy on a company’s profits. The tax is charged on both a company's income and chargeable gains.
