How the figures are compiled

The industry is the main NACE code VID holds for the company in the newest year of taxes paid. Merchants have one: limited liability companies, joint-stock companies, individual merchants, partnerships and branches of foreign merchants. Farms, associations and foundations are not in the industry counts.

The data mixes NACE Rev. 2.1 codes, used in statistics from 2025, with older NACE Rev. 2 codes. Division numbers mostly match between the two, so the industry is read from the first two digits of the code. Division 45 exists only in Rev. 2.

Turnover is net turnover from the company’s annual report for 2025. Where a company filed both its own report and a consolidated group report, its own is used, and reports filed in thousands of euro are converted to euro. The median and quartiles cover companies with turnover above zero.

The report year is the newest year with at least 90% of the usual number of reports filed, since reports are filed months after the year ends. Some late reports may therefore still be missing.

Taxes paid are VID’s published totals of taxes administered by VID, net of refunds, grouped by the NACE code the company had in each year.
