Turnover indices
Turnover indices
Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third
parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes motor and car trade activities
(main activity) as well as secondary activities. Third parties are
consumers and outside (the Dutch part of) the company's own activities.
The turnover index compares the value of the financial turnover in a
certain period with the value of financial turnover in the base period.
