Migrations of VAT-registered enterprises

Purpose and short description Regional migrations of active enterprises subject to VAT since 2008, based on the business register DBRIS, per year, region, economic activity (NACE-BEL), employment class and type of enterprise (natural person or legal entity). Survey population VAT-registered enterprises Periodicity Annual Release calendar Results available 9 months after the reference period Definitions Economic activity (NACE-BEL): Official nomenclature with an ‘X’ at the end when the information is only on 4 positions. NIS employment class: NIS employment class as defined in the official NIS nomenclature table Methodology In accounting for migrations, we have compared the population of active enterprises subject to VAT on 31/12 between two years and accounted for enterprises whose head office was moved during this period. We did not take into account the migration patterns between the three regions and abroad or unknown locations. This is an annual statistic, which does not take into accounts events happening during the year (if several migrations have taken place during one year, we only take into account the one observed on the annual pictures on 31/12).
