Data available from: 2021.

Status of the figures:
2021 figures are final.

Changes as of March 11, 2024:

When will new figures be published?
New figures will appear in the fall of 2024.

Description topics

Number of active enterprises
A count of the number of enterprises belonging to the population in the business register. Inactive enterprises are excluded. This statistic should include all companies that have been active for at least part of the reference period.
Enterprise:
The actual transactor in the production process characterized by independence with respect to decisions about that process and by offering its products to third parties.
It follows from this definition and in particular from the element of independence that a business may have more than one establishment, but it can also have more than one legal entity (legal entities are understood to include both natural and legal persons). This is the case when the individual establishments or legal units do not operate independently. Conversely, it may be the case that within a legal unit there are several parts that operate independently in terms of production. Based on the definition, these then constitute as more than one enterprise. The latter occurs mainly in larger companies with diverse activities. When an enterprise thus extends over several countries, the Dutch part is regarded as a whole enterprise for the purposes of national statistics.
In the official CBS terminology, the enterprise as defined here is called business unit (BE), so that no confusion can arise with the term business in common parlance, which is not very precise in this respect.
The statistical unit business is an operationalization of the kind-of-activity unit, as defined by Eurostat. This definition combines two requirements that may conflict: contributing to one activity versus corresponding to one or more operational units. In operationalizing to the statistical unit enterprise, the Netherlands gives priority to the second requirement.
Financial details
Value added at factor cost
Value added at factor cost refers to gross income from operating activities after adjusting for operating subsidies and indirect taxes.
Value-added at factor cost can be calculated as sales plus capitalized production, plus other operating income, plus or minus inventory changes, minus purchases of goods and services, minus other taxes on products that are linked to sales but not deductible, minus non-product taxes. Value added at factor cost can also be calculated by adding personnel costs to gross operating surplus.
Income and expenditure classified as financial or extraordinary in company accounts is excluded from value added. Value added at basic prices is calculated 'gross' because value adjustments (such as depreciation) are not subtracted.
