Dataset is not available.

This table presents information on turnover and development in turnover in the sector motor vehicles and motorcycles trade (SIC 2008 code 45). These figures are shown unadjusted, adjusted for working day effects and seasonally adjusted. Developments are presented as percentage changes compared to a previous period and by means of indices. In this table, the base year is 2015

Data available from 1st quarter 2005.

Status of the figures:
Figures on 2023 are provisional, the preceding periods are definite. The figures of a calendar year will become definitive no later than five months after the end of that calendar year. Until then, the figures in this table will be “provisional” and can still be adjusted as a result of corrected response.

Changes as of February 29, 2023:
Figures of the fourth quarter 2023 and the year 2023 have been added. Figures of the first, second and third quarter in 2023 may have been adjusted.

When will new figures be published?
Quarterly statistics are published on the last working day of the second month after the quarter. Once definite figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only apply adjustments if significant corrections are necessary.

Description topics

Turnover working day adjusted
By clearing the quarterly results for working day effects, quarter-to-quarter developments can be followed more clearly. For example, a turnaround in the increase or decrease in turnover can be determined more quickly than if there were no working day adjustments.
Turnover indices
An index compares the value of a variable (e.g. turnover) in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.

Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies.
Turnover year-on-year change
Change in turnover indicates the growth rate with respect to the same month of the previous year as a percentage. Statistics Netherlands calculates this on the basis of non-rounded figures.

Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies.
Turnover seasonally adjusted
Seasonal adjustment enables direct comparison of consecutive periods by removing the effects of annually recurring seasonal influences, which have been observed in the past. Turning points in developments (growth or decline) can be diagnosed at an earlier stage than without seasonal adjustment.

It should be noted that the calendar adjustment of time series can have effects on the yearly average of the unadjusted index. These differences occur when certain years have a higher number of working days than others, because several holidays fall on a weekend. Since seasonal adjustment also includes the calendar adjustment, this effect on the yearly index average is also visible in the seasonally adjusted data. Eurostat guidelines state that modifications for these differences are only required if the variation between the yearly average of the adjusted and the unadjusted index is more than +/- 2 percentage points.”
