The distinction between final expenditure and intermediate expenditure depends upon the nature of demand. Final expenditure is the expenditure made on purchase of goods and services meant for final consumption (consumed by us) and capital formation (investment) by private enterprise or company.
Government intermediate expenditure is the expenditure made by a firm on purchase of goods and services to be used in production of other goods or for sale in the same year. Similarly expenditure on repair and maintenance of stock/ buildings and on research and development is treated as intermediate expenditure.
Final expenditure is the expenditure on those goods and services that are for final consumption or investment. Whereas, intermediate consumption implies that the given goods and services will be utilised for further production or for reselling.
