Dataset description

Since 1996, Statbel has carried out an annual survey of the structure of the companies. It collects information on the activity, employment, revenues, costs and investments of the previous financial year — which, moreover, does not necessarily have to coincide with the calendar year. The information thus gathered allows for comparable, complete and reliable statistics on the structure of enterprises at European level. These statistics are indispensable for the formulation of economic policies, both at European, national and regional levels. On the other hand, this statistical data enables an undertaking to assess its own position within the industry as a whole. For the public institutions associated with Statbel within the framework of the Institute for the National Accounts, in particular the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) and the Federal Planning Bureau (FPB), this data material serves as a basis for drawing up the national and regional accounts and the input-output tables in accordance with the European System of Accounts. Enterprise population belonging to Sections B to N (except Section K) and Division 95 Frequency Annual. Timing publication Results available 18 months after the reference period Definitions Turnover: turnover includes all amounts (excluding VAT) corresponding to the sale by the taxable person of goods and services to third parties in Belgium or abroad. In addition, the turnover includes all other costs (transport, packaging, etc.) that are passed on to the customer, even if they are charged separately. Discounts, rebates and discountes should be deducted as well as the value of returned products (through credit notes). Income that appears as other operating income, financial income or exceptional income in the business accounts is not included in turnover. Personnel costs: this variable corresponds to the accounting heading personnel costs and covers the total cost of the company’s remunerated staff. This includes wages, social contributions and pensions paid by the company. Investments; investments are expenditure (excluding VAT) by the taxable person for the acquisition of goods and services constituting a business asset. These include incorporation costs, intangible fixed assets, land and buildings, installations, machinery and equipment, furniture and rolling stock, fixed assets in leasing and other fixed assets. The wages of the staff (e.g. which would be used to build or renovate a building) and other social charges and purchases of other services, work and studies (e.g. honorary architect) are therefore not part of the investment. NUTS: Division into regions and provinces Added value: The added value is the difference between sales and purchases. Purchase of goods and services: The “purchase” is the value of all goods and services purchased for resale or use in the production process. Employed persons: Number of employees plus the number of employees not on the payroll. Metadata Structure of the enterprises.pdf Survey on the structure of the enterprises.pdf
