Comparability

Comparability - geographical

To Eurostat the data are provided only for enterprises with less 20 person employed (according to EU's regulation). In the Statistics Database of Eurostat the distributions of the turnover by services and residence of client are published on EUROSTAT's homepage. It is considered that there are good comparability across countries, because the statistics should be produced by common guidelines and principles.

Comparability over time

The statistics is comparable from 2023 and onwards, where it only covers enterprises with at least 20 employees. The questionnaire used for the current timeseries is directly comparable to the one used between 2012 and 2022. Betwees 1995 and 2012 there are several data discontinuities caused by changes to the questionnaire, changes in industry codes (from NACE rev.1 to NACE rev. 1.1 and to Nace rev. 2) and thus also the product classification by activity (CPA) on which the questionnaire is based. From the reference year 2013 the method is changed so the enumeration is based on a new data from the Central Business Register. Data are back calculated for 2012. Which means that the results before the year 2012 are not directly comparable to the results from 2012 to 2022.

In the Statbank data can be found back to 1995. Due to the differences in methods and units the data for the earlier years can't be expected to compare with the current timeseries beginning with year 2023. From 2023 onwards the statistics only includes enterprises with at least 20 employees.

Coherence - cross domain

At national level the data for the survey are grossed up to the provisional turnover from the Accounts Statistics for Non-Agricultural Private Sector. At European level the data for the statistics are grossed up to the level for the final version of the Danish Accounts Statistics for Non-Agricultural Private Sector.

Coherence - internal
