Table 1.1 below contains an aggregated version of the 2019 Supply Table at current basic prices. Total Domestic Supply in basic prices was €724 billion euros in 2019. Imports (inclusive of insurance and freight costs) were €437 billion. Total Product Taxes less Subsidies (such as Value Added Tax and education-related subsidies respectively) was €23 billion. Margins (also called Trade Margins) are added by product to convert the data from basic prices to purchasers' prices. The total value of Margins sums to zero but Margins are positive and negative across products. Adding Margins allocates the mark-ups made by wholesalers and retailers from wholesale and retail sales on the resale of goods to the products that they are being estimated to being levied on. Summing these components together leads to Total Supply at purchasers' prices of €1.2 trillion euros in 2019.
