Table explanation


This table shows relevant data for the economic sector 'commercial
services', e.g. the number of persons employed, costs and revenues,
turnover and other financial results. The figures can be divided by a
number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard
Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 1993 (SIC'93).

The survey questionnaire was changed slightly in 2007. Up to and including
2006, wage subsidies were counted as (other) business returns. From 2007
onwards these subsidies are deducted from business costs. Because of these
changes, results for 2007 are not fully comparable with results for 2006.
The effect of these changes on business returns and business costs are
small for most of the branches.

Data available from 2006 - 2008.

Status of the figures: All data are definite.

Changes as of 1 September 2011:
This table has been stopped. Two important points in the processing of
the data on 2009 have changed :
- a new version of the Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic
Activities has been implemented (SIC 2008);
- the statistical unit has been changed.
Due to these changes, the figures are no longer comparable to those of the
previous years. Therefore new table has been started from 2009 onwards
(see also heading 3).

Description topics

Business returns
Turnover generated under regular operating conditions.
This includes selling of goods and services plus the value of
stock changes, work at hand, activated output for use in the company,
subsidies and damage compensation. Activated production includes fixed
assets manufactured by the company for own use, e.g. machinery and
buildings valued at cost price.
---
Since 2007, wage cost subsidies are no longer included.
Business turnover, net
Business returns, excluding VAT (value added taxes) from the selling of
goods and services to customers.
Turnover is calculated after deduction of discounts, bonuses, returnable
deposits and on-charged freight costs.
---
Customers could be private persons and companies outside (the Dutch part)
of the concern.
Net turnover from principal activity
The principal activity which contributes most to the value added.
Generally, most working hours are spent on a company's principal activity.
Net turnover from secondary activities
Secondary activities do not generate the highest value added. In general,
secondary activities are activities which do not require many working
hours.
